A 25 year old man, Shamsu Isa, yesterday told a magistrate court in
Kano State that he impregnanted his elder sister in error.

made by the Ward Head of the Takalmawa Quarters, to the police that
the accused person was having sexual intercourse with his elder
sister, contrary to the law.

incest was reported to the police following the discovery that Isa's
elder sister, identified as Na'ima was carrying her younger brother's
baby.

police that, Shamsu Isa was having sexual intercourse with his elder
sister.
However, when the charge was read to Isa, he said: ''The allegation
levelled against me is true. All that had been read against me, is
true, it was a mistake, I mistakenly inpregnated her, my elder
sister."
According to the charge, the accused person committed "incest contrary
to section 390 of the Penal Code Law. Naima Isa, 27, is believed to
