A Senior Magistrate Court in Kano on Wednesday remanded the Majority Leader, House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado Doguwa in prison.
The court presided over by Magistrate Ibrahim Mansur Yola remanded the house leader in prison till 7th March, 2023 when the case comes up.
The Kano State Commissioner of Police brought Doguwa before the court and charged him with five counts, including criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide, unlawful possession of firearms, mischief, and inciting public disturbance.
The offences are contrary to section 79 sub section 7 and Section 221 of the penal code.
In the First Information Report (FIR), Alhassan Ado Doguwa was charged with conspiring with Bashir Dahiru and five other individuals who are still at large to disturb the peace in Tudun-Wada LGA by setting fire to the NNPP office, which resulted in the deaths of Alhassan Sarki Pawa and Aminu Malam.
The house leader was also discovered to be in possession of the gun he had used to shoot one person dead and injure around three others.
The Defendance counsel, Abdul Adamu urged the court to grant the defendant bail on self recognition insisting that the defendant would not jump bail, temper with police investigation and would provide reasonable surety to stand for him.
The Prosecution Counsel, Aisha Salisu objected to the bail application urging the court not to grant the bail on the ground that part of the charges against the defendant included a capital offence.
The Judge, Magistrate Ibrahim Mansur Yola however adjourned the matter till 7th March, 2023 and ordered the remand of the defendant in the Goron-Dutse correctional facility.
