A 72-year-old man and his two children have been arraigned before Magistrate Court No. 28 in Gano, Kano State, for allegedly engaging in the sale of illicit drugs.
The trio, residents of Unguwar Makera in Dawakin Kudu Local Government Area, were charged following a complaint lodged by community members led by the village head of Tamburawar Dan-Tube, Alhaji Auwalu Umar.
Reports indicate that the incident began after the head of the local vigilante group warned the elderly man to stop selling hard drugs. The warning reportedly led to a confrontation involving his sons, during which a vigilante member sustained injuries.
Police authorities confirmed that the suspects were arrested based on community reports and charged with conspiracy, intimidation, and possession of hard drugs.
During the hearing presided over by Magistrate Malika Muhammad, the defendants’ family expressed interest in resolving the matter amicably with the complainants.
The court granted the accused persons bail under strict conditions, directing that the 72-year-old father must be present at every court sitting.
