The Kano State High Court No. 1, sitting at the Audu Bako Secretariat, has continued hearing the murder trial of Ayuba Sani, who is accused of killing Ibrahim Dan Larai in Tumfafi town, Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area, last year.
Details of the Allegation
Ayuba Sani allegedly stabbed the deceased in the neck with a knife following repeated disputes. The confrontation stemmed from the victim, Ibrahim Dan Larai, continuously waking Sani up at dawn for morning prayers at a mosque, despite previous warnings for him to desist from doing so.
At the resumed sitting on Thursday, the state prosecutor, Barrister Amina Uba, called two witnesses, including ASP Cindu Cuwa and Inspector Buhari, who testified on the investigation they conducted into the case.
The court subsequently discharged both witnesses after their testimonies. With their appearance, the total number of prosecution witnesses presented so far has risen to three.
Next Steps
Presiding judge, Justice Dije Abdu Aboki, adjourned further hearing to January 29, 2026, allowing the defendant, Ayuba Sani, who has pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder, to open his defense. The trial continues to be monitored closely due to the unusual nature of the underlying dispute.
