The police charged Mr Nura, who lives in Fagge Quarters in Kano, with causing grievous hurt.
When the charge was read to the defendant, he pleaded guilty to the offence.
The judge, Umar Lawal-Abubakar, ordered that the defendant should be remanded in the Goron Dutse Correctional Centre in Kano until April 15 for sentencing.
The prosecution counsel, Zahradeen Abubakar, told the court that Haruna Kasim, the complainant, reported the matter at the Fagge police station on February 28.
He alleged that the defendant and Mr Kasim had an altercation over an electricity bill.
The police said that the defendant stabbed the complainant with a pair of scissors on his back.
