A Magistrate Court in Kano has remanded Maimunatu Idris, a 25-year-old woman, accused of allegedly cutting off her boyfriend's genitals with a knife. The court, presided over by Justice Sadiya Usman, heard charges of causing grievous bodily harm and attempted murder against the accused. The prosecution, through Barrister H. A. Sani Buhari, requested permission to read the charge sheet to Idris.
She admitted to causing bodily harm but denied the attempted murder charge due to the court's jurisdictional limitations. The court scheduled a continuation of the trial for September 9, 2026, and ordered Idris to be held in prison custody until the next hearing. According to Daily Trust, Idris, originally from Maigatari LGA in Jigawa State, was arrested on July 27, 2026, following the incident at Durbar Hotel in Kano.
She reportedly invited her boyfriend to her lodging before attacking him with a sharp knife, allegedly due to his plan to marry another woman. The victim received emergency treatment at Abubakar Imam Urology Hospital, while the police recovered the weapon and arrested Idris at the scene.
