A Kano high court has sentenced Frank Geng-Quangrong, a
Chinese man, to death by hanging for killing Ummukulsum Sani, his Nigerian
girlfriend.
Frank was arraigned on a one-count charge of culpable
homicide.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecution had told the court that the offence
contravenes section 221(b) of the Penal Code.
The prosecution presented six witnesses and four exhibits to
prove their case against the defendant.
Muhummad Dan’azumi, the defense counsel, presented the
defendant to defend himself. He also presented one other witness and tendered
five exhibits.
Sanusi Ado-Ma’aji, the trial judge, on Tuesday, said the
prosecution team proved their case beyond reasonable doubt.
The judge said the defendant’s testimony was inconsistent
and held that he is guilty of the crime.
On September 16, 2022, Geng-Quangrong stabbed his girlfriend
to death at her residence in Janbulo quarters, Kumbotso LGA of Kano.
The Chinese national fled the scene after the incident.
The lady was rushed to the hospital, where she was confirmed
dead.
Days later, Geng-Quangrong was arrested by the police.
In his testimony, the Chinese national said he did not
“intentionally” stab the deceased but did so in self defence after she grabbed
his testes.
