A Jigawa State High Court, sitting at Court No. 11 in Ringim, has discharged and acquitted Isah Usman, also known as Nigger, of charges relating to Criminal Conspiracy and Robbery.
The accused was initially brought before the court over allegations of armed robbery said to have taken place on the 2nd day of February 2020, at Chaichai Tsohuwa Village in Dutse Local Government Area of Jigawa State.
In delivering the ruling, the presiding judge, Justice Muhammad El-Usman, stated that “the prosecution did not prove the allegation against the defendant as provided by law.”
He noted that the prosecution presented only one witness and failed to provide any physical evidence in support of their case.
Justice Muhammad further remarked that “the prosecution had failed in their bid to establish the offence against the defendant when they failed to call the two alleged victims of the offence to testify.”
