A Shari’a Court in Danbare, Kano State, has brought charges against a man identified as Malam Shaddadu for allegedly selling a house belonging to his son without his approval.
The son, Muhammad Shaddadu, informed the court that his father had earlier purchased two tricycles for his half-brothers.
Tragedy struck when one of them was attacked and killed by hoodlums who also made away with his tricycle.
According to Muhammad, his father blamed him for the incident, took legal action against him, and he was eventually remanded in prison.
He added that he was later acquitted of all charges by the court.
Upon regaining his freedom, Muhammad returned home only to discover that his father had sold his house, reportedly believing he would never return.
When the case was presented in court, Malam Shaddadu denied the allegation and pleaded not guilty.
Presiding over the case, Judge Malam Munzali Idris Gwadabe noted that the issue appeared to be a domestic dispute.
He then referred the matter to the Court of Arbitration in an effort to mediate and reconcile both parties.
