Due to the lack of an interpreter and the accuser’s assertion that they did not speak English, the case was not heard, the last time and was adjourned.
The Chinese Embassy in Nigeria provided Mr. Guo Cumru as an interpreter for the court for the resumed hearing, which was conducted by Musa Abdullahi Lawal, the attorney general of Kano State.
According to him, the ministry wrote to the embassy when the trial was postponed due to a lack of an interpreter, and they provided them with one.
As a result, the court requested Cumru to testify in front of the court and translate for the accused person from English to Chinese.
