The mother of Ummulkhulsum Buhari who was killed by her Chinese boyfriend, Frank Geng Quarong, has expressed delight following the death sentence slammed on Quarong by the Kano State High Court on Tuesday for killing her daughter.
Quarong, who is resident in Kano, was convicted on one count of culpable homicide, and sentenced to death by hanging.
Reading his judgement, the Presiding Judge, Justice Sunusi Maaji, rejected all six witnesses and evidence provided by the accused person.
Maaji said the prosecution counsels led by the state Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General, Haruna Dederi, have proved the case beyond reasonable doubt.
He sentenced Quarong to death by hanging but added that they had a stipulated time to appeal the case if they were not convinced by the judgement.
Speaking with newsmen after the verdict, the victim’s mother expressed satisfaction with the judge’s decision.
She said, “I am extremely sad I lost my daughter, but I am satisfied justice has been served,” Zubairu said.
