A 24-year-old man identified as Musa Abdullahi, of Riga Fada community in Kumbotso LGA of Kano State has appeared before a magistrate’s court for allegedly setting on fire the family house of his girlfriend who dumped him for another suitor.
Abdullahi, who was charged with threat to peace and attempt to commit murder, was also accused of setting fire on the house of the parents of his former girlfriend which led to some parts of her body being burnt.
The prosecution counsel, Barrister Amal Bashir Albasu, prayed the court that the charges should be read to the defendant.
After hearing the charges, Abdullahi pleaded not guilty, and the Judge, Rabi Abdulkadir, ordered that he should be remanded in a correctional centre and adjourned the case to June 1.
