A Kano Magistrates’ Court on Monday remanded a 40-year-old civil servant, Abdullahi Abdulhamid, for allegedly sexually assaulting a three-year-old boy.

Abdulhamid, who lives at Dorayi Karama Quarters, Kano, is facing a one-count charge of act of gross indecency.

The prosecutor, ASP Rufa’i Inusa, told the court that one Ali Kabo of the same address reported the matter at  Dorayi Babba Police Station, Kano, on May 18.

Inusa said that on May 17 at about 11 a.m., the accused lured the complainant’s three-year-old son into his house where he sexually assaulted the child.

“The accused assaulted the boy indecently by rubbing his manhood,” he said.
