Man allegedly burns woman for refusing to marry him

A man named Abdullahi Idris has been arraigned in a Kano State Sharia court for allegedly setting his girlfriend, Sa’adatu Ibrahim, on fire after she rejected his marriage proposal.

Idris, a resident of Rimi town in Sumaila LGA, Nigeria, had been dating Sa’adatu, a divorced woman, for just seven days before she declined his proposal.

He faces charges of malice, arson, and attempted murder, to which he pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutor Barrister Maryam Jubril requested a new date for his re-arraignment.

The judge, Rakiya Lami Sani, ordered Idris to be remanded in prison and adjourned the case to September 16, 2024.
