A Kano woman, Zayya Magaji, is facing court charges over the alleged poisoning of her newborn stepson. The incident occurred in Danbango village, Kabo Local Government Area, Kano State. Zayya Magaji, a housewife, was arraigned before a Magistrates Court in Kano by the state prosecutor, Barrister Muhammad Aliyu.
The charges were read to her by court registrar Nafiu San, alleging that the defendant caused the death of her stepson by poisoning him. However, the accused pleaded not guilty to the charges. The prosecutor informed the court that the case file had been forwarded to the State Ministry of Justice for legal advice.
The court, presided over by Justice Auwal Yusuf, granted an application for adjournment and ordered that the defendant be remanded in custody. The matter was adjourned to April 29 for continuation of proceedings. Zayya Magaji will remain in custody until the next court date.
