‘With immediate effect’ Kano govt shuts down school over death of 5-years-old girl

The Kano State Government has ordered the closure of Noble Kids Academy, a private school in the state’s Nassarawa Local Government Area with immediate effect, where a student, Hanifa Abubakar, was abducted and her body buried.

Hanifa, a five-year-old girl, was kidnapped late last year, and her teacher, Abdulmalik Mohammed Tanko, was one of the people participating in the operation.

The kidnappers demanded N6 million in ransom, but after obtaining the money, they killed her.

“On investigation, Abdulmalik confessed that the victim, Hanifa was his student at a private school in Kwanar Dakata, Nassarawa LGA, Kano State. He kidnapped her and took her to his house where he contacted her relatives and demanded a ransom of Six Million Naira (N6,000,000),” the Public Relations Officer of the Kano Police Command, Haruna Kiyawa, said on Friday.

“On the 18/12/2021, having realised that the victim recognized him, he claimed to have poisoned her to death, conspired with one Hashim Isyaku and buried her in a shallow grave within the private school premises located at Kwanar ‘Yan Gana, Tudun Murtala Quarters, Nassarawa LGA, Kano State.”

Across social media, the hashtag #JusticeForHanifa began to trend late Thursday, with many sympathising with the family and calling for justice to be served.
