ZAMFARA COURT REMANDS MUGIRA YUSUF IN PRISON, FIXES MONDAY FOR RULING ON APPLICATION FOR TRANSFER OF HIS CASE
Zamfara State Police command has arraigned the embattled social media blogger Mugira Yusuf before Zamfara State Magistrate Court.
He was arraigned before Justice Sa’adu Gurbin Bore on charges of inciting public disturbances, defamation of character and false social media postings.
According to the police prosecutor Inspector Ibrahim Aliyu, the offenses are punishable under sections (114), (392) and (393) of the penal code.
The accused pleaded not guilty to all the charges filed by the police.
Again, the defense team led by Barr. Surajo Garba Gusau objected to the continued trial of the accused at the Magistrate Court, since Zamfara law No (7) has made it obvious that someone who is a Muslim can only be tried in Islamic Shariah court of competent jurisdiction.
They therefore asked the court to transfer the matter to a competent Islamic Shariah court for trial.
The judge adjourned the matter until Monday 25th of October 2021 for ruling on the application.
Justice Sa’adu Gurbin Bore, however, warned police to desist from bringing cases at the close end of the week to avoid delay in the transfer of cases.
According to the police, Zamfara State Ministry for Security and Home Affairs brought a formal complaint against Mugira Yusuf sometimes in (January 2020)
