A 25 year old man, Shamsu Isa, yesterday told a magistrate court in Kano State that he impregnanted his elder sister in error.
Isa’s
docking and admittance of the charge followed a report made by the Ward
Head of the Takalmawa Quarters, to the police that the accused person
was having sexual intercourse with his elder sister, contrary to the
law.
The First Information Report by the police stated that a case
of incest was reported to the police following the discovery that Isa’s
elder sister, identified as Na’ima was carrying her younger brother’s
baby.
“On
July 4, 2014, the Ward Head of Takalmawa Quarters reported to the
police that, Shamsu Isa was having sexual intercourse with his elder
sister,” it read.
When the charge was read to Isa, he said: ‘’The
allegation levelled against me is true. All that had been read against
me, is true, it was a mistake, I mistakenly impregnated my elder
sister.”
The charge accused Isa of committing “incest contrary to
section 390 of the Penal Code Law. His sister, Naima Isa, who is 27
years, is believed to have a weak mind.’’
The prosecutor, Corporal
Ibrahim Abdulrazak applied for the matter to be adjourned to another
date, to enable the police conclude investigations into the case.
The
Senior Magistrate, Ummi Sani Kurawa, while delivering her ruling,
ordered that, Isa be remanded in prison custody, and adjourned the
matter to August 4, for mention.
