For assaulting a sex worker named Zainab Idris, a 19-year-old male named Dahiru Usman was given a one-month prison sentence by a Shari’a court in Magajin Gari, Kaduna.

Malam Kabir Muhammad, the presiding judge, offered Usman the opportunity to pay a N7,000 fine when delivering the verdict.

The court also mandated that he compensate Idris with N70,000 or risk a 12-month jail sentence.

On January 15, Idris, a resident of Kigo Road, submitted a report at the Sabon Gari Police Station, the prosecution, ASP Luka Sadau, informed the court.

“On that day, around 2:30 p.m., the accused and the complainant agreed to meet at a hotel on Constitution Road for a service priced at N10,000. However, a disagreement arose in the hotel room, leading Usman to assault Idris, striking her on the head with a hammer and causing injury,” Sadau explained.

The attack weapon, a hammer, was shown as evidence in court. In order to achieve justice, Sadau urged the court to compensate the victim for her losses and injuries.

Usman expressed regret for his actions and entered a guilty plea to the charges of assault and causing harm as part of his defence.
