A 75-year-old man, Umar Isah, who allegedly sodomised a 10-year-old boy has been remanded in a correctional centre by a Kaduna Chief Magistrates’ Court on Thursday.
The police charged Isah who resides in Kingshasha Road Ungwan Rimi Kaduna with an unnatural offence.
The Magistrate, Hajara Dauda, who did not take the plea of Isah, held that the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the suit.
