A man identified as Jaafar Lukman has been remanded in a correctional centre by the Kano State Sharia court sitting in Kiru LGA, for allegedly injuring the son of pap seller, Jamila Mai-Kosai, who refused to sell to him on credit.

The defendant had gone to the woman with the intention of buying bean cake and pap on credit, but the woman refused to give him because he was already owing her. Lukman who was angry with the woman for refusing to give in to his demand, kicked the pap, bean cake, bean paste, and the oil she was using to fry, injuring her son.

He pleaded guilty when the charges were read out, but told the court that he was angry and hungry when he committed the offence. The Khadi, Malam Usman Haruna Usman, ordered that he should be remanded in prison and adjourned the case to September 4.
