Kano Court orders detention of three men over alleged kidnap plot, ransom demand
A Kano Magistrate’s Court has ordered the detention of three men accused of conspiring to kidnap a woman and demanding ransom in the state.
The defendants, identified as Balarabe Joro, Ibrahim Idris and Alasan Sale, were arraigned before Magistrate Court No. 14 at Norman’s Land, Kano, on charges of conspiracy, attempted kidnapping and demanding ransom.
During the proceedings, prosecution lawyers, Binta Ahmad and Fatima Garba Abdu, requested that the charges be read to the defendants.
According to the police, the three men allegedly conspired on October 20, 2026, to abduct a woman in Kabo Local Government Area of Kano State and demand money from her.
However, all three defendants denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to them.
Following their pleas, Magistrate Ahmad ordered that they be remanded in a correctional facility pending legal advice from the Kano State Ministry of Justice.
The court adjourned the case until December 8, 2026, for further proceedings.
