A Chief Magistrates’ Court in Kano State on Tuesday ordered that a 72-year-old man, Abdulsalam Abubakar, who allegedly sodomised a 12-year-old boy be remanded in a correctional centre, pending legal advice.

NAN reports that the prosecution counsel, Mrs Asma’u Ado told the court that the complainant, Shamsiya Haruna, of the same address reported the case at Jakara Police Division Kano, on Feb. 20.

Sa”ad-Datti adjourned the case until March 24 for mention.
