The judgement will be delivered by the chief judge of the state, Justice Halima Ibrahim Abdulmalik.

Jiya was arrested by the operatives of the Homicide Squad of the Niger State Police Command for allegedly setting his mother, Mrs Comfort Jiya, a retired school principal in the state Ministry of Education ablaze. The mother who resided in Dutsen Kura area of Minna, the Niger State capital died instantly from the incident.

The accused was arraigned before the Minna Chief Magistrate Court 1 on holding charge pending his final arraignment in the High Court by the Office of the Attorney-General for prosecution on culpable homicide punishable under section 221 of the penal code.

The director of public prosecution in the ministry of justice has advised that he should be charged before the High Court for proper prosecution by the provision of section 221 of the penal code.
