A Kano State High Court has sentenced one Salisu Idris, to d3ath by hanging for burning a family of three alive.

LIB reported that Idris set fire to Aminu Bala’s house, k!lling him, his wife, Ruqayya and their 2-year-old daughter, Aisha.

Idris claimed he was promised the sum of N200,000 by a “business friend” of late Aminu Bala, to burn him and his family to d3ath.

Idris, who lives at Gayawa Quarters, Gaya Local government area in Kano state, was charged with abetment and culpable homicide.

Delivering judgment on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, Justice Amina Adamu-Aliyu, held that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.

“I hereby sentence Idris to d3ath by hanging for burning the victims alive,” she said.

Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Lamido Abba-Sorondinki, told the court that Idris committed the offence on September 25, 2019 at Gayawa Quarters in Kano.

Abba-Sorondinki said that on the same date at about 2a.m, Idris and one Aliyu Abdullahi-Anas, who is now at large, went to the house of Aminu Bala, 50, and set it on fire, causing the d3ath of the man, his wife and a two-year-old child.

The prosecution presented two witnesses and the confessional statement of Idris.

The convict, however, denied committing the offence.

The prosecutor said the offence contravened the provisions of Sections 85 and 221 of the Penal Code.

The Defence Counsel, Mr Mustafa Hussaini, presented Idris to testify in his defence.
