Wednesday, April 16, 2025 - A Magistrate Court sitting in the Mai Alluna area of Kano State has sentenced a young man to two years imprisonment for attempting to st@b his father with a pair of scissors.
The incident occurred in the Fagge area of the state,
following a disagreement between the accused and his father over money. The
police told the court that the young man attempted to attack his father after
he was denied money for personal use.
The convict was consequently arraigned on charges of
assault, attempted murder, and unlawful possession of a weapon which he pleaded
guilty to when they were read to him.
In his ruling, Magistrate Nasir Ahmad sentenced the
defendant to two years in prison, a fine of N20,000, an additional six months
imprisonment, and 40 strokes of cane.
The court said the punishment was intended to serve as a
deterrent to others who may consider engaging in similar acts of violence.
