Nasiru Mukhtar, a resident of Kano State, has been remanded by the State Shariah Court at Kofar Kudu for allegedly assaulting Imam Malam Murtala Sulaiman during morning prayers at a mosque in the Tudunwada area.
The incident occurred on
October 22, 2024, around 5 am.
Mukhtar reportedly stormed the
mosque, held the Imam by the neck, and slapped him multiple times before
tearing his clothes and taking his microphone.
Following the altercation, the
imam filed a complaint with the state police command, leading to Mukhtar’s
arrest.
During the court proceedings,
Mukhtar’s defence counsel requested bail, citing the need for further
investigation.
However, the presiding judge,
Malam Isah Rabi’u Gaya, ordered a psychiatric evaluation to assess the
accused’s mental state.
The court adjourned the case
until November 22, 2024, while the accused remains in custody.
