He noted;
I’m happy today that Hanifa, my daughter, has gotten justice.We appreciated everyone’s effort in this case, justice has been well served.
Hanifa was kidnapped on December 4, 2021, by her proprietor, Tanko on her way from Islamiyya School, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi Islamiyya.
Tanko killed Hanifa when he laced a tea with rat poison and connived with Hashimu to bury her body in a shallow grave in his school, North West Preparatory school, in Nassarawa LGA of Kano State.
This led to a pledge by the Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje over ensuring the dispensation of capital punishment, depending on the court’s judgement.
