A chief magistrate court in Kano on Thursday ordered that a 39-year-old man, Umar Ibrahim, who allegedly sodomised a 15-year-old boy, be remanded in a correctional facility.

The police are charging Ibrahim, who lives in Badawa Quarters Kano, with one count of unnatural offence.

Chief Magistrate Muhammad Jibril, who gave the order, adjourned the matter until November 25 for further mention.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp. Pogu Lale, told the court that the complainant, Ya’u Isyaku, of the same address reported the matter at the Kwana Hudu Police Division, Kano, on October 16.

He alleged that Ibrahim lured the complainant’s 15-year-old son into his room, situated at Badawa Quarters Kano and sodomised him.

Lale said the offence contravened Section 284 of the penal code.

The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge. (NAN)
