A magistrates’ court in Kano State has ordered the remand of Aliyu Nasir over allegations that he stabbed a motorist, Magaji Dalladi, to death and inflicted grievous bodily harm on another man, Aminu Nura.

Nasir was arraigned before Magistrate Abdulaziz Mahmud of Magistrates’ Court No. 15 in Nomansland, Kano, on charges of murder and causing grievous bodily harm.

The court ordered that the defendant be remanded in a correctional facility pending further directives from the state government.

The case was adjourned until November 12, 2026.

Dispute Over Driving Space

According to the prosecution, the incident occurred along Sokoto Road in Kano following an alleged disagreement over driving space.

Nasir was accused of attacking Dalladi and Nura with a knife after an argument in which Dalladi allegedly failed to give him sufficient room while they were driving.

Dalladi reportedly died from his injuries, while Nura sustained serious injuries and was receiving medical treatment.

Prosecution Seeks Further Legal Action

Prosecution counsel Auwal Sani Dandago presented the case before the court.

The remand order will keep Nasir in custody while the matter awaits further legal direction.

The allegations against the defendant have yet to be established in court. Nasir is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
