In a high-profile case that has drawn significant public attention, the trial of an Islamic cleric and four others accused of the killing of Kwara College student Hafsoh has been adjourned. The case, which involves serious charges, was put on hold today after a brief hearing at the Kwara State High Court.
The suspects, including the Islamic cleric, are facing charges related to the tragic death of Hafsoh, a promising student at a local college, whose murder has sparked outrage in the Kwara community and beyond. The prosecution alleges that the accused were involved in the brutal killing of Hafsoh under circumstances that have raised concerns about religious and cultural tensions within the region.
The adjournment came after requests from defense attorneys for additional time to review the case files and prepare their clients' defense. As a result, the court set a new hearing date to continue the proceedings.
Hafsoh’s family, supporters, and activists have expressed disappointment over the delay, reiterating their calls for justice and a swift conclusion to the case. Many have rallied behind the victim’s family, emphasizing the need for the Nigerian justice system to ensure accountability in cases involving serious human rights violations.
