Court Orders Medical Care for Man Who Cut Off Finger

The court sitting in Jogana has issued an order for special medical care for Yusuf Mahmud Rano, who is involved in a case of conspiracy and attempted sorcery alongside four other defendants. The presiding judge, Malam Kamalu Haruna, stated that the court could not deliver a judgment as scheduled on Monday due to the expected participation of government lawyers in the proceedings.

The case has been adjourned to Thursday, September 17, 2026, and the judge ordered that the first to fourth defendants remain in custody until that date. Additionally, the judge reiterated the directive to the Kano State Correctional Service to ensure that Yusuf receives adequate medical attention and special care while in custody.

The defendants, including Abdurrahman Abbas Kwasamgwami Gezawa, Sha’aibu Yawale Daganawa Bunkure, Abubakar Iliyasu Zangon Dakata, Ishaq Isah Rano, and Yusuf Mahmud Rano, had previously pleaded guilty at an earlier sitting.
