A 72-year-old man and his two children have been arraigned before Magistrate Court No. 28 in Gano, Kano State, over allegations of dealing in illicit drugs.
The trio, residents of Unguwar Makera in Dawakin Kudu Local Government Area, Kano, were brought to court following a formal complaint by community members, led by the village head of Tamburawar Dan-Tube, Alhaji Auwalu Umar.
According to reports, tensions escalated when the head of the local vigilante group cautioned the elderly man against the sale of hard drugs. This warning allegedly triggered a confrontation involving his children, during which a vigilante member sustained injuries.
Police confirmed the suspects were arrested based on community reports and have been charged with conspiracy, intimidation, and unlawful possession of hard drugs.
During the proceedings before Magistrate Malika Muhammad, the defendants’ family sought an amicable settlement with the complainants.
The court granted them bail under strict conditions, including that the 72-year-old man must personally appear at every sitting.
