A

body.
Mrs. Falila Dikko of the Katsina

the trial would continue.
The court

stabbed his uncle severally in different parts of the body, leading to his
death on December 8, this year.
Both Abdullahi and Umar were
reported to be sleeping in the same room when the accused suddenly woke up in
the middle of the night and allegedly used a knife to stab him several times.

house with Abdullahi and the deceased, reported the incident at the Danja
