A Kano Magistrates’ Court on Thursday discharged all the five suspects, who allegedly killed a trader, Bridget Agbahime in Kano on June 2 over allegations of blasphemy.
The suspects, Dauda Ahmed, Abdulmumeen Mustafa, Zubairu Abubakar, Abdullahi Abubakar and Musa Abdullahi were slammed with a four-count charge of allegedly inciting disturbance, culpable homicide, joint act and mischief.
Mrs. Agbahime, 74, an Imo indigene, was murdered in Kofar Wambai Market in Kano over alleged blasphemy.
The Chief Magistrate, Muhammad Jibril, discharged the five suspects and terminated the case as advised by the attorney-general of Kano State.
Earlier, the Principal State Counsel, Rabiu Yusuf, representing the attorney-general of Kano State, told the court that they received the case diary from the police on June 8.
“Having gone through the case diary, the attorney- general of Kano State evaluated the facts in accordance with Sections 130 and150 of the Criminal Procedure Code, presented the legal advice,” Mr. Yusuf said.
“The legal advice presented to the court, dated June 24, states that there is no case to answer as the suspects are all innocent and orders the court to discharge all the suspects.”
The counsel to the suspects, Abdulsalam Gambo, commended the attorney-general for the judgment in the case.


NAN reports that the suspects and their families expressed gratitude to God for the judgment and for their freedom. (NAN)

I was not expecting Justice, they just arrested these people to calm the situation down, they have given Some of these guys licences to kill Christians and call it Mob actions.

Christians should defend themselves since no one want to defend us.

I can see FFK & Reno Omokri furiously going to their libraries.
Kiss the truth!

Did people really expect anything different ? Buhari's govt has overtly supported every single case of extremist killings that has happened since the inception of this junta. Who has heard anything about that lady evangelist slaughtered in Abuja lately ? Even the imam who clear as day said she was killed by his followers has been released without even naming the boys. BUHARI IS AN ISLAMIC TERRORIST

Ofcourse how can they be guilty when the current Emir was also once accused of the same crime ..Time for the South to unite
