When the charge was read to Bisalla, he pleaded guilty and told the court he was not in his right senses when he committed the act.
The Judge, Hauwa Yusuf, however, declined to take his plea on the grounds that her court lacked the jurisdiction to hear the matter.
Yusuf ordered the police to forward the case file to the State Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice.
She adjourned the matter until May 21.
