“The victim was rushed to the Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital Kano, where she was confirmed dead by a medical doctor.”
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecution presented six witnesses to prove their case against the defendant and four exhibits.

Dan’azumi urged the court to recommend the defendant for a prerogative of mercy pursuant to Section 313 of the ACJL.
