A Magistrate’s Court sitting at Nomans Land, Abuja, has remanded one Nazifi Kafir Liringo in a correctional centre for allegedly killing his friend while cutting grass.
Liringo, a resident of Dambatta Local Government Area, was arraigned before Magistrate Court 27, presided over by Magistrate Hauwa Abba Musa, on a charge of culpable homicide under Section 222 of the Penal Code.
Prosecutor, Maryam Halilu Dantiye, told the court that it was a fresh charge and sought permission to have it read to the defendant.
The charge was read by the court clerk, Muhammad Musa Tudun Wada, but the court noted that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the case.
Magistrate Musa subsequently ordered that the defendant be remanded in a correctional centre and adjourned the matter till October 6, 2026.
Police alleged that Liringo killed his friend, Zaharaddin Adamu, after allegedly striking him with a cutlass while they were cutting grass in Abuja.
Adamu reportedly died from injuries sustained in the incident.
