Nura Usman and her mother, Izzatu Aminu are set to face trial at Magistrate's Court in Nomansland, Kano, accused of conspiracy and attempted murder. The charges stem from an alleged plot to assassinate Nura's father, Alhaji Usman Shanono, in Kano's Dantsinke Quarters. Prosecutors claim the suspects hired an assassin for N500,000, but the hired killer informed Shanono of the plan before aborting it.
To convince the accused, Shanono and the assassin staged his death, presenting his wristwatch and other belongings as proof of the killing. Upon learning of Shanono's supposed demise, relatives and mourners gathered, but the situation took a twist when Shanono reappeared with security operatives, declaring his death to be a fraud.
The trial, currently under Magistrate Sakina Amina Yusuf, has been postponed to September 7, 2026, for additional proceedings.
