A Kano State High Court on Miller Road has ordered that a man, identified as Idris Kurma, be remanded in a correctional facility for allegedly murdering his wife after she reportedly refused to prepare kuli-kuli (groundnut cake).
Kurma appeared before Justice Musa Dahiru on a charge of culpable homicide, contrary to Section 221 of the Penal Code, as presented by the prosecuting counsel, Barrister Lamido Abba Soron Dinki.
The accused pleaded not guilty when the charge was read to him.
During the court session, the prosecutor requested time to enable the state to call its witnesses, while defence counsel, Barrister Ibrahim Adakawa, applied for access to all necessary details of the case.
Justice Dahiru granted both requests and adjourned the matter to December 12, 2025, for continuation of hearing.
According to court records, Kurma, who lives in Goda, Shanono Local Government Area of Kano State, allegedly strangled his wife, Aisha Idris, after she refused his request to make the local delicacy.
