| Cockerel. |
A magistrate court in Gidan Murtala, Kano State, has ordered a citizen to kill his male chicken (cockerel) for allegedly causing a nuisance in the area he lived.
It
was learnt that a neighbour, Yusuf Muhammad Ja’en, filed a complaint at the
court, complaining that Isyaku Shu’aibu’s chicken deprived the neighbourhood of
their deserved rest, causing a nuisance always.
Ja’en
alleged that the Cockerel crowed too much, giving them no peace. Having heard
from both sides during a sitting on Tuesday, the Magistrate, Halima Wali, gave
Yusuf till Friday to kill the cockerel.
However,
Shu’aibu reportedly told the court that he had bought the bird to celebrate
Good Friday and pleaded with the court to allow him to keep it until the
Christian holy day before killing it for a family feast.
Judge
Wali heeded his plea but warned him against allowing the fowl to roam the area
and disturb residents.
She
also asked him to ensure he slaughters the bird on Friday as promised or face a
penalty from the court.
