A Kano State High Court has acquitted Yusuf Nadabo Kawule, who was on trial for allegedly causing the death of his wife, releasing him after five years. Justice Nasir Saminu ruled that the prosecution did not present enough evidence to link Kawule to the charge of culpable homicide under Section 221 of the Penal Code. Kawule denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty throughout the trial.
During proceedings, both the prosecution and Kawule presented their cases, with witnesses testifying on both sides. The incident allegedly took place in 2021 at Kogo village in Takai Local Government Area of Kano State, where Kawule and his wife were involved in a motorcycle accident leading to her death. After considering the evidence, the court concluded that the prosecution could not prove their case and discharged and acquitted Yusuf Nadabo Kawule.
