Man accused of impersonating Kwankwasiyya singer granted bail
A Kano Magistrate’s Court has granted bail to Badaru Ibrahim Katsina, who is facing charges of impersonation, defamation, cheating, causing harm and obtaining money under false pretences.
The defendant appeared before Magistrate Hadiza Muhammad Hassan at Magistrate Court No. 21, Gyadi-Gyadi, where he pleaded not guilty after the charges were read to him.
His lawyer subsequently applied for bail, which the court granted on the condition that he provides his ward head or a local imam as surety.
The surety must pay N1 million if the defendant fails to appear for his court proceedings.
Katsina was accused of opening a bank account in the name of popular Kwankwasiyya praise singer Tijjani Gandu and allegedly defrauding a man in Kebbi State of N8 million.
He was alleged to have collected the money after falsely promising to arrange a musical performance for him.
