A 57-year-old suspect standing trial on rape charges mysteriously died on Tuesday at the Chief Magistrate Court II in Yola.

The suspect, identified as Mohammed Sani, was a butcher, and he was from Wauru Jabber in Yola South Local Government Area of Adamawa State.

A report by Punch has indicated that the suspect had been detained in prison for a year following his alleged involvement in sexually assaulting a minor.

The incident occurred after the suspect had been seriously sick.

Men of the NCS had since taken the body to the mortuary.
