Earlier, the mother of the boy, Naja’atu Abdulkarim Jamo, approached the court in Kofar Kudu seeking an order for the establishment of a DNA test conducted on her estranged husband to determine the child’s paternity.
The Magistrate, Sani Sarki Yola, therefore, ordered the man to name the child within one month and sacrifice an animal as recommended in Islam.
