It said 20-year-old Amina Abdullahi was convicted on Friday by the Sharia court in Gusau, capital of Zamfara state, after confessing to sleeping with a man other than her husband. Abdullahi told the court she had slept with Saminu in June to try and win his love. But Saminu denied the claim. He said he had married another woman after Abdullahi jilted him to marry a rich man.
