Court Remands Farmer For Attempted Culpable Homicide
A Magistrates’ Court in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, on Wednesday ordered that a farmer, Victor Allahnanan, be remanded in a correctional centre for attempted culpable homicide.
Magistrate Michael Bawa, however, declined to take the plea of Allahnanan on grounds that the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter.
He adjourned the matter until August 5 for further mention.
Earlier, the state counsel from the Ministry of Justice, Mr Mathias Joseph, told the court that the complainant, Pastor Ishaya Dogora of Aniya Baptist church, Kurmin Dangana reported the matter at the NSCDC office.
Joseph said Allahnanan conspired with seven others, now at large, and blocked the drainage in front of the complainant’s church.
He noted that after the complainant cautioned them against blocking the waterway, they stormed his house with cutlasses to attack him, but he narrowly escaped.
