A Kano State High Court has sentenced Adamu Isma’ila Arzai to death by hanging for the murder of his friend, Auwai Shehu Kanata, during a dispute in 2016.
Presided over by Justice Muhammad Musa Karaye, the court heard that the incident occurred while the two men were traveling to Bauchi State for a business trip.

In his ruling, Justice Karaye stated that the prosecution had proven the case beyond reasonable doubt and accordingly sentenced Adamu to death by hanging.
