A Kano Shari’a Court in ‘Yan Alluna, Fagge Local Government Area, has ordered the remand of a suspected fraudster accused of exploiting grieving families by falsely claiming the deceased had unpaid debts.

A suspicious family member raised the alarm, leading to the suspect’s arrest and handover to the police.

During his arraignment, the accused pleaded guilty to the charges.

The presiding judge, Khadi Umar Lawan Abubakar, ordered his remand until April 14, when judgment will be delivered.
