Court Sentences Two Men to D3ath For M8rder of Businessman in Kano

 

Two men have been sentenced to d3ath by a Kano State High Court.

 

The duo were sentenced to d3ath for  k!lling a businessman, Abba Aminu Yalwa. 

 

The two convicts, Sagiru Lawan and Kabiru Yusuf (a.k.a Alaramma) k!lled the victim in July 2018 after luring him to a location under the pretense of showing him a plot of land. 

 

The judgment was delivered on Thursday, October 16, 2025 by Justice Sunusi Ado Ma’aji of High Court No. 15 in Kano

 

The two convicts, Sagiru Lawan and Kabiru Alaramma, were found guilty of k!lling Yalwa, at Danbare area in Kano metropolis.

 

The prosecution led by government counsel, Barrister Aminu Ado Bello, presented six witnesses and other evidence to prove the case.

 

In his judgment, Justice Ma’aji ruled that the prosecution had successfully established the m8rder charge against the defendants beyond reasonable doubt.

 

“The prosecution counsel, Barrister Aminu Ado Bello, presented strong and convincing evidence which proved the m8rder charge against the two defendants,” the judge said.

 

The incident reportedly happened in 2018. The late Abba Aminu Yalwa had earlier given money to Sagiru Lawan, but later demanded a refund.

 

Sagiru then asked the deceased to meet him at Danbare so he could show him a piece of land for sale. When they arrived, Sagiru called his friend Kabiru Alaramma, and together they strangled Abba and st@bbed him to d3ath.

 

After reviewing all testimonies and evidence, Justice Ma’aji found both men guilty of m8rder in violation of Section 221 (B) of the Penal Code, which carries a d3ath sentence.

 

He, therefore, sentenced Sagiru Lawan and Kabiru Alaramma to d3ath by hanging.
