Court orders arrest of Kano village head over alleged s3xual assault of his housemaid

A Kano State Magistrates Court has ordered the arrest of Talban Warawa, Abubakar Idris, the village head of Warawa Local Government Area, over allegations of s3xual assault of his housemaid, which is said to have resulted in her pregnancy. According to the prosecution, the traditional leader had previously been granted bail by the court. However, despite six consecutive court sittings, he failed to appear before the court to answer the charges filed against him. The defence counsel, Barrister Hassan Danjuma Balarabe, appealed to the court to grant them an additional date, assuring that the accused would be presented at the next sitting. After careful consideration, the presiding Magistrate, Hafsa Yahaya, expressed dissatisfaction with the accuseds repeated absence and subsequently directed the Commissioner of Police to immediately arrest and produce him before the court. The matter has been adjourned to December 3 for continuation of hearing. The post Court orders arrest of Kano village head over alleged s3xual assault of his housemaid appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
