A 25 year old man, Shamsu Isa, yesterday told a
magistrate court in Kano State that he impregnated his elder sister in error.
Isa spoke shortly after appearing before the court,
following 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.
However, 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 her, my elder sister.”
According to the charge, the accused person
committed “incest contrary to section 390 of the Penal Code Law. Naima Isa, 27,
who is believed to have a weak mind is heavy.’’
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.
Waht do you call Isa?
