It was a furious President Muhammadu Buhari that ordered the police and ministry of justice to ensure that everyone culpable in the murder of five-year-old Hanifa Abubakar is brought to book.
Hanifa was allegedly kidnapped for ransom in December 2021 by the proprietor of her school, Abdulmalik Tanko, who eventually killed and buried her in a shallow grave.
Tanko, the proprietor of the school, had confessed to the act when operatives of the Kano State Police Command paraded him and his alleged accomplices on Thursday.
Spokesman, Garba Shehu, while conveying the reaction of his boss, on Friday, said the President, directed the police and justice ministry must “uphold the integrity of the detective work that busted the case by preparing well and presenting a good case that will earn the respect of the court.”
Buhari, who he said, in a statement, commended the law enforcement agencies behind the unraveling of the mystery behind Hanifa’s disappearance, was quoted as saying: “When breakthroughs like this happen, people will talk differently of law enforcement.
“The president condoled with the family of the five-year-old schoolgirl and prayed for the repose of her soul.”
