On Monday, May 20, an Upper Shariah Court in Kano State ordered the remand of Shafiu Abubakar Gadan for allegedly setting a mosque ablaze, resulting in the deaths of 14 worshippers.
The tragic incident took place during the Subhi (early morning) prayer in Gezawa Local Government Area on May 15, 2024.
Many other worshippers sustained varying degrees of injuries due to the fire.
The accused faces additional charges for setting several residents on fire, causing grievous harm, and leading to fatalities.
During the court session, the prosecution, led by Kano State’s Attorney General, Barrister Haruna Isah Dederi, presented three counts against the accused: causing grievous harm and culpable homicide.
Dederi alleged that on May 15, 2024, at approximately 5:15 a.m., the defendant used petrol to set the mosque in Gadan village on fire during the Subhi prayer.
“The defendant poured petrol on the carpet where Sani Suleiman and 24 others were praying and then closed the door,” Dederi stated.
“As a result, several people sustained various injuries and were rushed to Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital in Kano for treatment. Suleiman and 13 others succumbed to their injuries while receiving medical care.”
Shafiu Abubakar Gadan pleaded guilty to the charges.
The prosecution highlighted that the case is a capital offense and urged the court to ensure the defendant has legal representation, as is his constitutional right.
In response, the presiding judge, Malam Halhalatul Huza’i Zakariyya, ordered the accused to be remanded in a correctional facility.
The case has been adjourned to May 31, 2024
