A
25 year old man, Shamsu Isa, yesterday told a magistrate court in Kano
State that he impregnanted his elder sister in error. Isa spoke shortly
after appearing before the court, following a report made by the Ward
Head of the Takalmawa Quarters, to the police that the accused person
was having sexual intercourse with his elder sister, contrary to the
law.
The First Information Report by the police stated that a
case of incest was reported to the police following the discovery that
Isa’s elder sister, identified as Na’ima was carrying her younger
brother’s baby. However, when the charge was read to Isa, he said: "The
allegation levelled against me is true. All that had been read against
me, is true, it was a mistake, I mistakenly impregnated her, my elder
sister.”
The prosecutor, Corporal Ibrahim Abdulrazak applied for
the matter to be adjourned to another date, to enable the police
conclude investigations into the case. The Senior Magistrate, Ummi Sani
Kurawa, while delivering her ruling, ordered that, Isa be remanded in
custody, and adjourned the matter to August 4.
