A Kano State High Court No. 11, sitting at Bompai area of kano municipality, has discharged and acquitted a man, Yusuf Nadabo Kawule, who was standing trial for allegedly killing his wife.
The court, presided over by Justice Nasir Saminu, freed the defendant after ruling that the prosecution failed to provide sufficient evidence to establish the murder charge against him.
Yusuf was charged with culpable homicide under Section 221 of the Penal Code but pleaded not guilty to the offence.
During the trial, the prosecution presented its witnesses, while the defendant also testified in his defence.
The incident occurred in 2021 at Kogo village in Takai Local Government Area of Kano State.
He was alleged to have taken his wife on a motorcycle to look for a house for her in another village when they were involved in an accident that led to her death.
Following the incident, security operatives arrested him and subsequently charged him to court. (Daily Trust)
