Hanifa Abubakar: Youths storm school in protest, set it ablaze

Admin January 24, 2022

Justice for Hanifa

Jan. 24, 2022

Angry youths have burnt the school where the body of young Hanifa Abubakar was buried in Kano State.

Channels Television reports that the youths stormed the school premises very early on Monday morning and set it ablaze, purportedly in protest against the killing of the five-year-old.

The school, Noble Kids Comprehensive College, is situated in Kwanar Dakata community in Nassarawa Local Government Area of the state.

Hanifa was abducted by her teacher who demanded ransom from her parents but later killed her in December last year.

The disturbing news of her death became a major discourse after the Police Public Relations Officer in Kano, Haruna Kiyawa, confirmed to reporters last Friday that Hanifa’s teacher, one Abdulmalik Tanko, was indicted in the murder.

He revealed that Abdulmalik confessed that he kidnapped the girl and took her to his house where he contacted her relatives and demanded a ransom of N6 million.

In his reaction, Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje ordered an indefinite closure and withdrawal of the operational license of the school where the girl was buried.
