Magistrate Court in Kano State has remanded a suspect named Nazifi Kabir Liringo in a correctional facility after the murder of his friend as they were cutting grass at Abuja.

The man, who is from the Dambatta Local Government Area, was presented before the court headed by Magistrate Hauwa Abba Musa at Nomans Land with a charge of culpable homicide under Section 222 of the Penal Code.

Prosecutor Maryam Halilu Dantiye told the court that it was a fresh charge and sought permission to have it read to the defendant.
The court’s clerk, Muhammad Musa Tudun Wada, read the charge to Liringo, but proceedings could not continue as the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case.
The magistrate subsequently ordered that the defendant be remanded in a correctional centre and adjourned the matter until October 6, 2026.
Police alleged that Liringo killed his friend, Zaharaddin Adamu, after allegedly striking him with a cutlass while they were cutting grass in Abuja.
Adamu reportedly died from injuries sustained in the incident.
