During the trial, the police prosecutor, Inspector Kabir Mohammed, pleaded that the case be adjourned till another date, as investigation was still in progress.
The request was granted by magistrate, Hajiya Fadile Dikko, who adjourned the case till July 19, 2017 but remanded Bishir in police custody.
She said, “This court will not ask you whether the allegation read and explained to you is true or false as the offence of rape will be tried at a high court.
“After police investigation, your case file will be taken to the Ministry of Justice for legal advice. If a prima facie case is established against you, then you will be tried at the high court.”
