A Kano Chief Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday ordered that a 17-year-old, who allegedly sodomised a nine-year-old boy, be remanded in a Correctional Centre.
The minor, who lives at Kofar Mata Quarters Kano, is charged with unnatural offence by the Nigeria Police Force.
The Chief Magistrate, Auwal Yusuf-Suleiman, ordered the police to return the case file to the Kano State Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice.
Yusuf-Suleiman adjourned that matter until January 11, 2022 for further mention.
Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Kabiru Nafi’u, informed the court that the minor committed the offence on November 1 at Rimin Kebe Quarters, Kano.
He said that at about 5pm, the minor lured the nine-year-old boy into an uncompleted building in Rimin Kebe Quarters and sodomised him.
Nafi’u said that the offence contravened Section 284 of the Penal Code.
