Kano Court Acquits Man After Five-Year Trial Over Wife’s Death

A Kano State High Court has discharged and acquitted Yusef Nadabo Kawule, who was charged with culpable homicide over his wife’s death. Justice Nasir Saminu ruled that the prosecution had not presented enough evidence to prove the charge. Kawule had pleaded not guilty and testified in his defence. The case arose from an incident in 2021 at Kogo village in Takai Local Government Area. Kawule was alleged to have been taking his wife by motorcycle to look for a house in another village when they were involved in an accident that led to her death. He was arrested and later charged under Section 221 of the Penal Code.
