A Shari’a Court in Danbare, Kano State, has arraigned a man, Malam Shaddadu, for allegedly selling his son’s house without permission.
The complainant, Muhammad Shaddadu, told the court that his father had earlier bought two tricycles for his half-brothers. According to him, tragedy struck when one of them was attacked and killed by hoodlums, who also made away with his tricycle.
Muhammad said his father wrongly held him responsible for the incident, took him to court, and had him remanded in prison. He was, however, later acquitted of all charges.
Upon his release, Muhammad alleged that his father sold his house, assuming he would never return.
When the charge was read, the father denied the allegation and pleaded not guilty.
Presiding Judge Malam Munzali Idris Gwadabe described the case as a family dispute and referred it to the Court of Arbitration for reconciliation.
