/ 5 hours ago
A beggar, Binta Umar, yesterday took a fellow beggar, Hajara Kano, to a Sharia Court II sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna, for alleged assault and stealing.
Umar said she was in court because Kano stole her charity money given to her by a passer-by.

She alleged that when she confronted Kano about the matter, she hit her and threw her into the gutter.
The complainant prayed the court to grant her justice and punish Kano for what she did.
The defendant, however, was not in court to answer to the charges.
The judge, Musa Sa’ad-Goma, said Kano had disobeyed the court by not appearing which contravened Section 300 of Criminal Penal Code.
The judge ordered the immediate arrest of the defendant and adjourned the case till March 19, 2019.
