Housewife to die by hanging for kidnapping, killing 8-year-old girl in Kano

A Kano State High Court has sentenced one housewife, Fadila Adamu, to death by hanging for kidnapping and throwing an eight-year-old girl into a well, causing her death.

The defendant, a resident of Sabuwar Gandu Quarters Kano, was convicted of kidnapping and culpable homicide.

Delivering judgment on Friday, Justice Yusuf Muhammad-Ubale, ruled that the prosecution had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt and sentenced the defendant to death by hanging.

“I hereby sentence the defendant to death by hanging for kidnapping and throwing the victim into a well which caused her death,”; Muhammad-Ubale ruled.

Earlier, NAN reports that the prosecution counsel, Lamido Abba-Sorondinki, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on July 14, 2019, at Tudun Wada Quarters, Kano.

He said that at about 4.45 pm, the defendant kidnapped the minor and took her to her house.

“The defendant told her sister that the deceased was the daughter of her friend, whose mother had travelled to Ghana, and asked her to keep the child until she returned.

“On July 17, 2019, at about 6.30 pm, the defendant caused the death of the minor when she threw her into a deep well situated in the Tukuntawa Quarters Kano,”; he said.

Abba-Sorondinki presented seven witnesses including the defendants’ statements and a medical report confirming the victim’s death.

The defendant, however, denied committing the offence.

However, the prosecution said that the offence contravened Sections 274(b) and 221(a) of the Penal Code.

The defense counsel, Zulaihat Tata, presented four witnesses, including the defendant, to testify in her defense.
