The prosecution closed its case against the defendant on December 21, 2022, after presenting six witnesses.
The defendant also closed his case with two witnesses including a urologist, Dr Abdullahi Abubakar.
In his testimony, the accused told the court that the late Ummukulsum attacked him with a knife.
“While I was defending myself Ummukulsum bit me on my arm and finger and also injured me on my genital,” he said.
The defendant was alleged to have stabbed the deceased with a knife in her house at Janbulo Quarters Kano on September 16, 2022.
The alleged offence, the prosecution said, contravenes the provisions of Section 221(b) of the Penal Code law.
