Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A Kano State Sharia Court sitting at Kofar Kudu has remanded Nasiru Mukhtar for allegedly assaulting Imam Malam Murtala Sulaiman during morning prayers.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that the incident occurred at a mosque in the Tudunwada area on October 22, 2024.<\/p>\n

Mukhtar allegedly invaded the mosque, attacked the imam by holding him by the neck, slapped him, tore his clothes, and took his microphone.<\/p>\n

The imam filed a complaint with the state police command, leading to Mukhtar\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n

During the court proceedings, Mukhtar\u2019s defense counsel requested bail, citing the need for further investigation.<\/p>\n

However, the presiding judge, Malam Isah Rabi\u2019u Gaya, ordered a psychiatric evaluation to assess the accused\u2019s mental state.<\/p>\n

The court has adjourned the case until November 22, 2024, while the accused remains in custody.<\/p>\n
