A Shari’a Court sitting in Danbare, Kano State, has arraigned a man, Malam Shaddadu, for allegedly selling his son’s house without his consent.

The complainant, Muhammad Shaddadu, told the court that his father had previously bought two tricycles for his half-brothers.

He said tragedy struck when one of them was attacked and killed by hoodlums, who also stole his tricycle.

Muhammad explained that his father wrongly blamed him for the incident, took him to court, and he was subsequently remanded in prison.

However, he said the court later acquitted him of all charges.

Upon his return home, Muhammad alleged that his father had sold his house, under the assumption that he would not return.

However, when the charge was read, the father denied the allegation and pleaded not guilty.

In his ruling, the presiding judge, Malam Munzali Idris Gwadabe, observed that the matter was a family dispute between father and son.

He subsequently transferred the case to the Court of Arbitration for reconciliation between the parties.
