Court Remands Man In Prison For Seducing Married Woman

The Law

One Abubakar Mustapha in the Magajin Gari area of Kaduna has been remanded by a sharia court sitting in Magajin Gari yesterday after he allegedly enticed and wooed a married woman.

Mustapha pleaded not guilty to the charges, which contravened Section 226 of the Kaduna State Sharia Penal Code 2002.

The court did not accept his plea, as the judge, Mallam Musa Sa’ad, ruled that the accused be remanded in police custody pending its bail perfection.

The complainant earlier explained that his wife had gone to her parent’s house at Kafanchan to have her baby and refused to return to her matrimonial home, adding that Mustapha started making advances at Nusaiba.

He said he had once been called by the defendant who told him to forget about his wife as she is no longer his.

“When I travelled to Kafanchan to see my wife and our baby, Mustapha called my wife to his room and I followed her.

“Upon reaching his room, he shouted at me, saying he only called my wife not me, threatening to deal with me,” he said.

Sadi pleaded with the court to intervene in the matter and compel Mustapha to stop interfering in his marriage.

He also prayed to the court to assist him in bringing back his wife to their matrimonial home.
