A Kano State Magistrates’ Court, sitting at Miller Road, has ordered the remand of six men accused of criminal conspiracy, armed robbery, and illegal possession of weapons.
The defendants Abdurrahman Aliyu, Abubakar Aminu, Salisu Usaini, Abdulmutallif Sa’ad, Sulaiman Abdullahi, and Aliyu Aliyu were arraigned before Magistrate Hauwa Abba Musa by the prosecution counsel, Barrister Maryam Halilu Dantiye.
According to the prosecution, the suspects allegedly travelled from Kaduna State to Kano, where they broke into the home of one Alhaji Naziru Lawan at Dorayi Babba Quarters. During the attack, they reportedly stole valuables worth millions of naira and assaulted the victim’s wife, forcibly removing a gold tooth from her mouth before fleeing the scene.
All six defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Following the plea, Magistrate Musa ordered their remand in a correctional facility pending further investigation and adjourned the case until November 24 for continuation of hearing.
