Ummita’s Murder: Court Fixes March 29 For Judgement
By Hussaini Ibrahim Kafi
A Kano High Court has reserved judgment in the case involving Frank Geng Quangrong, a Chinese national accused of killing his Nigerian girlfriend, Ummukulsum Sani, 22.
The defendant, who lives in Railway Quarters Kano is charged with culpable homicide.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Justice Sanusi Ado-Ma’aji, adjourned the matter until March 29, for judgment.
The adjournment follows the adoption of the final written addresses by the prosecution and defence counsels Muhammad Dan’azumi and Aisha Mahmoud.
Recall that the prosecution closed its case against the defendant after presenting six witnesses on Dec.21, 2022.
The defendant also closed his case with two witnesses, including a Urologist, Dr Abdullahi Abubakar.
In his testimony the accused told the court that the late Ummukulsum attacked him with a knife.
“While I was defending my self Ummukulsum bite me on my arm and finger and also injured me on my genital,” MrFrank said.
The defendant was alleged to have stabbed the deceased with a knife in her house at Janbulo Quarters Kano on Sept.16, 2022.
The offence, the prosecution said, contravenes the provisions of Section 221(b) of the Penal Code law.
