Two men, Nura Usman and Adamu Dauda, have been remanded in a correctional facility for allegedly defecating in a mosque in Kaduna, Northwest Nigeria.
They were remanded on Thursday following an order by a Shari’a Court in Magajin Gari, Kaduna State. The police charged Usman and Dauda with public nuisance and inciting violence.
The Judge, Malam Rilwanu Kyaudai, adjourned the case until April 28 for the police to present witnesses.
The Prosecution Counsel, Insp Ibrahim Shuaibu, earlier said that Usman and Dauda were handed over to the Tudun Wada Police station on April 11 by members of the community.
He added that Usman was apprehended while defecating in a mosque located on Alkalawa road, Tudun Wada Kaduna around 2 p.m.
He said that Dauda, the second defendant had promised to hand Usman N20,000 to defecate in the mosque. They both pleaded not guilty.
