The ongoing trial of a Chinese national, Geng Quandong, over the alleged killing of his Nigerian girlfriend, Ummukulsum Buhari, stalled on Tuesday due to the absence of an interpreter.

Muhammad Dan’azumi, the defence counsel, notified the court that an interpreter had not been provided for the accused.

The case, which was originally slated to commence last week Monday, was adjourned to Tuesday due to a lack of legal representation for Mr Quandong.

Initially, the police in Kano, North-west Nigeria, on 21 September, arraigned Mr Quandong before a magistrates court at Zangeru road in Kano.

The case was later filed at the High Court No.17 at Miller Road in Kano’s metropolis on Tuesday.

TIMES reported that Mr Quandong, 47, allegedly murdered Ummukulsum, 23, at Janbalu quarters for allegedly refusing his hand in marriage and exploiting him.

At the hearing on Tuesday, Mr Quandong addressed the court in Chinese, which made it difficult for the parties involved including the magistrate to comprehend the message.

The Magistrate, Sanusi Ma’aji, adjourned the case to 27 October, with the hope that an interpreter would have been found to explain the charges to Mr Quandong in Chinese.

But the slain girl was his girlfriend.

So how was he discussing with his hausa speaking girlfriend?

The Nigerian lawyer that sold this idea of language barrier to the Chinese murderer must be very stupid.

Are they claiming that there is no Chinese interpreter in the whole of Nigeria or they can't employ one for a serious case like this

I won't be surprised if we are told that the culprit and the deceased have been communicating through Google Translator during their relationship.

This country is a joke

Rubbish, so how did he communicate with the late girl and her family....something definitely ain't right here

there are plenty chinese people that can speak fluent hausa/engilsh in Kano.

This kind beast should have been properly judged by areas in a jungle manner rather than the court way to me.

What does he need an interpreter for?

Was he not dating a Nigerian lady who he murdered in cold blood?

I'm sure it was one of his Chinko friends that asked him to use this strategy so as to waste the court's time

If he thinks he would escape justice by feigning ignorance of English or any other Nigerian language, he should think again, because he won't.
He'll definitely meet the gallows-man!
Nonsense!
