Man Remanded for Attempted Assault on 12-Year-Old Neighbor in Kaduna-OXYGIST

A 36-year-old man, Nibras Isah, has been remanded by a Kaduna Chief Magistrates’ Court over allegations of attempting to assault his neighbor’s 12-year-old daughter.


Isah, a resident of Ungwan Sanusi, was charged with attempted assault.


Magistrate Ibrahim Emmanuel declined to take Isah’s plea and ordered his detention at a Correctional Centre pending legal advice from the Kaduna State Director of Public Prosecutions. The case was adjourned to February 27 for further proceedings.


According to Prosecutor Inspector Chidi Leo, the incident occurred on January 19, 2025, at the accused’s residence.


Leo stated that Isah called the 12-year-old girl as she was walking past his house and asked her to buy a recharge card for him. When she returned to deliver the card, Isah allegedly locked her in his room and attempted to assault her.


The girl’s screams reportedly drew the attention of a neighbor, who forced Isah to open the door. Upon opening it, Isah tried to escape but was apprehended and taken to the police station.


The prosecutor said the alleged act violates the Penal Code of Kaduna State, 2020.
