MAN, SUES WOMAN FOR ALLEGEDLY CALLING HIM GAY

A 30-year-old man, Shamsudeen Ibrahim, sued a woman, Hannatu Aliyu, before a Shari’a court sitting in Rigasa, Kaduna for allegedly calling him gay.

The plaintiff, who was represented by his lawyer, alleged that Aliyu, who is a thrift collector, met his client on the road and asked him about one Murjanatu’s N1,000 daily contribution.

The lawyer said his client, told Aliyu he was not Murjanatu’s messenger. In return, the accused rained insults on his client and called him a pimp who acts like a gay; resulting into defamation of character and thus seek justice.

In her defence, Aliyu, denied the allegation saying they were untrue.

The judge, Malam Salisu Abubakar-Tureta, granted Aliyu bail on the condition that she provides a reliable surety with a N20,000 bail bond.

The matter was adjourned until 2nd of August, for the complainant to present his witnesses.
