A 14 years old teenage boy has been held at a remand home in Kano for over five months for allegedly killing a chicken belonging to his stepmother.
According to legal council Audu Bulama Bukarti, the boy, whose identity was withheld had a dispute with his stepmother in Wudil local government area of Kano State five months ago.
Bukarti said, “He was taken to the police station by the step-mum over her chicken and when efforts by the police to settle them yielded no result, the case was transferred to court.” Bukarti said as a result of the dispute the boy has spent five months at the Goron Dutse remand home.
