Angry Man Beats Chief Imam During Prayers, Tears His Clothes
A Kano State Shariah Court sitting at Kofar Kudu has remanded Nasiru Mukhtar for allegedly assaulting Imam Malam Murtala Sulaiman during morning prayers at a mosque in the Tudunwada area.
It was gathered that the incident occurred on October 22, 2024, around 5am when Mukhtar reportedly invaded the mosque, attacked the imam by holding him by the neck, and slapped him before tearing his clothes and taking his microphone.
Following the altercation, the imam filed a complaint with the state police command, leading to Mukhtar’s arrest.
During the court proceedings, Mukhtar’s defence counsel requested bail, citing the need for further investigation.
However, the presiding judge, Malam Isah Rabi’u Gaya, ordered a psychiatric evaluation to assess the accused’s mental state.
The court has adjourned the case until November 22, 2024, while the accused remains in custody.
