A Kano State Sharia Court sitting at Kofar Kudu has remanded Nasiru Mukhtar for allegedly assaulting Imam Malam Murtala Sulaiman during morning prayers.

It was gathered that the incident occurred at a mosque in the Tudunwada area on October 22, 2024.

Mukhtar allegedly invaded the mosque, attacked the imam by holding him by the neck, slapped him, tore his clothes, and took his microphone.

The imam filed a complaint with the state police command, leading to Mukhtar’s arrest.

During the court proceedings, Mukhtar’s defense counsel requested bail, citing the need for further investigation.

However, the presiding judge, Malam Isah Rabi’u Gaya, ordered a psychiatric evaluation to assess the accused’s mental state.

The court has adjourned the case until November 22, 2024, while the accused remains in custody.
