The Kano State High Court has handed down a death sentence by hanging to a Chinese national, Frank Geng-Quangrong, for the murder of his girlfriend, Ummukalthuum Buhari.
Quangrong was found guilty of killing Buhari following a dispute between them.
It was reported that Quangrong, accused of culpable homicide in Buhari’s death, denied intentionally killing her and appealed to Justice Sunusi Ado Ma’aji of the Kano State High Court for leniency.
During his testimony on Tuesday, Quangrong claimed that he stabbed his girlfriend in self-defense after she allegedly assaulted him by grabbing his testes in September 2022.
