A Kano Magistrate’s Court has remanded a man, Ismail Sulaiman Bacirawa, after he was allegedly caught attempting to jump off a bridge in the state.
Ismail was arraigned before Magistrate Hadiza Muhammad Hassan of Magistrate’s Court No. 21 over the alleged attempt to take his own life.
He was reportedly found standing on a bridge, allegedly preparing to jump, when security personnel from Hausawa Police Station intervened and brought him down safely.
But in a dramatic twist, the man was said to have been holding a placard pleading with the Kano State Governor to come to his rescue.
The placard reportedly read: “I have children, Your Excellency the Governor, please save my life.”
The prosecution counsel, Usman Abdullahi and Aisha Humaira, presented the case before the court, while the court official, Auwal Abdullahi, interpreted the charge to the defendant.
After the charge was read and interpreted to him, the court held that it lacked jurisdiction to entertain the case.
Magistrate Hassan consequently ordered that Ismail be remanded in a correctional facility pending August 20, 2026, when he is expected to be brought back before the court.
