 A Magistrates’ Court in Sabon-Gari, Zaria, on Thursday, 17th February 2022 issued an arrest warrant against a Kano housewife, Basira Auwal, for allegedly causing grievous injuries on her step-sons.

Issuing the warrant, Magistrate Toro Luka, gave the order after the Prosecution Counsel, Inspector Napko Renbuk told the court that the case was slated for hearing, but due to the absence of the defendant, the case can not continue.

The prosecutor, therefore, applied for the arrest of the defendant pursuant to the provisions of Section 127 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2017.
