In a Kano State High Court, two young men, Aliyu Adamu and Mubarak Abdussalam, have been sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of Alhaji Dahiru. A third defendant, Sadik Sanusi, received a seven-year prison term. The trio faced charges of criminal conspiracy, murder, and concealing a crime. Justice Fatima Adamu, presiding over Court 18, stated that the prosecution, represented by Barrister Salisu Muhammad Tahir, provided sufficient evidence to support the charges.
The court found Aliyu Adamu and Mubarak Abdussalam guilty of stabbing the victim to death with a knife and conspiring with Sadik Sanusi to dispose of the body by burning it. The prosecution alleged that the motive behind the murder was to obtain the deceased's land ownership documents.
