A Kano Magistrate’s Court has remanded three men in a correctional facility over alleged conspiracy, attempted kidnapping and demanding ransom.
The defendants, identified as Balarabe Joro, Ibrahim Idris and Alasan Sale, were arraigned before Magistrate Court No. 14, sitting at Norman’s Land in Kano, on the charges.
Prosecution counsel, Binta Ahmad and Fatima Garba Abdu, urged the court to order that the charges be read to the defendants.
The presiding magistrate, Salisu Haruna Ahmad, subsequently ordered that the charges be read to them.
The prosecution alleged that the defendants conspired on October 20, 2026, to kidnap a woman in Kabo Local Government Area of Kano State and demanded ransom.
However, the three defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Following their pleas, Magistrate Ahmad ordered that they be remanded in a correctional facility pending legal advice from the Ministry of Justice.
The court adjourned the case until December 8, 2026, for further proceedings.
