Ja’en alleged that the Cockerel crowed too much, giving them no peace. Having heard from both sides during a sitting on Tuesday, the Magistrate, Halima Wali, gave Yusuf till Friday to kill the cockerel.
However, Shu’aibu reportedly told the court that he had bought the bird to celebrate Good Friday and pleaded with the court to allow him to keep it until the Christian holy day before killing it for a family feast.
