Popular Kano-based singer, Dauda Kahutu Rarara, has asked a High Shari’ah Court in the state to disregard a case filed against him.
The renowned political singer is being accused of non-payment of money amounting to over N10 million to a businessman, Muhammad Ma’aji.
When the court located at Rigiyar Zaki resumed hearing on the case, counsel for Rara, G. A. Badawi, told the presiding judge, Justice Halhalatul Khuza’i Zakariyya, that the case has no basis and, therefore should be disregarded.
According to him, they had served their response in writing to the complaints and the court, but the prosecution claimed that they got it late when the court was about to sit.
The complainant, Muhammad Ma’aji, had told the court that he has all evidence documented in writing to support his claims since the beginning of his business relationship with Rara in 2021 but has not received any payment.
In his ruling, however, Justice Zakariyya ordered the prosecution counsel to reply to the defence counsel and the court also in writing.
Justice Zakariyya adjourned the case to May 12 for further hearing.
