Police officials of the Kano state police command had sentenced a 14-year-old boy to 5months imprisonment for allegedly murdering his step-mother’s fowl in their house.
According to a legal council, Audu Bulama Bukarti, the boy, whose identity was withheld had a dispute with his step-mum in Wudil local government area of Kano State some five months ago.
The state commissioner for women affairs and social welfare, Dr. Binta Tijjani Jibril however, refuted the claims stating that the inmates were not in anywhere deprived of food as they were fed thrice daily.
