How I ‘mistakenly’ impregnated my elder sister – Suspect

A 25-years-old man, Shamsu Isa, has told a
Kano State Senior Magistrate Court that he
impregnated his 27-year-old sister by
“mistake.”

The charge sheet filed against the accused
before the court said: “Incest contrary to
section 390 of the Penal Code law, on July 4,
the ward head of Takalmawa quarters reported
at Jakara division that on July 1, you Shamsu
Isa, had sexual intercourse with your sister.”
The prosecution told the court that, Naima Isa,
27, was pregnant, adding that , she had a
feeble mind.

Responding to the allegation slammed against
him before the court, the accused told the
court that the allegation levied against him
was true.
“All that has been read against me, is true, it
was a mistake, I mistakenly pregnated her, she
is my elder sister.”

The prosecutor, Corporal Ibrahim Abdulrazak,
told the court that it lacked jurisdiction to
preside over the matter, and applied for the
matter to be adjourned, stating that the
request would enable the police conclude
their investigation into the case.
The magistrate, Ummi Sani Kurawa, delivering
her ruling, ordered that Isa be remanded in
prison custody, and adjourned the case to
August 4 for mention.
