A housewife, Halima Musa, on Wednesday dragged her neighbour, Hajara Hassan, to a Sharia court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna, for allegedly calling her a cursed woman.

“She was shouting, saying my mother had cursed me before she died,” the complainant explained.
The defendant had denied the allegations, saying it never happened.
The complainant presented two witnesses in court, and they all testified, saying they heard the defendant calling her neighbour a cursed woman.
