A High Court in Kano State has sentenced an 85-year-old man, Malam Isah Abdullahi, to 14 years in prison for a serious offence.

The judgment was delivered by Justice Aisha Mahmud at the Gwarzo Division after a full trial.

The court ruled that the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.

Officials from the state Ministry of Justice led the case, presenting evidence that secured the conviction.

The judge considered a plea for leniency before issuing the final sentence.

Authorities say the ruling shows their commitment to protecting victims and enforcing the law.
