Angry youths have burnt down Noble Kids Academy in Kawaji,
Nasarawa Local Government Area of Kano state.
Hanifa Abubakar, the five-year-old pupil who was abducted
and killed by her proprietor, was a student of the school.
The victim was kidnapped in December and killed shortly
after, though her abductors had demanded a N6million ransom.
It was while trying to get part of the ransom that the
proprietor of the school, Abdulmalik Tanko, was nabbed by security forces.
He later confessed to killing her with rat poison. There has
been widespread outrage over the killing, with #JusticeForHanifa trending on
social media for days.
Commending the detectives who nabbed Tanko, President
Muhammadu Buhari assured Nigerians that justice will be served.
The Kano government had shut down the school indefinitely
and directed parents to enroll their children in other schools.
However in the wee hours of Monday, aggrieved youths stormed
the school and set it on fire.
In the interview he granted when he was paraded at the
headquarters of the Kano Police Command, Tanko had said he rented the building
where he used for the school.
He had said there were two branches of the school and that
he buried her in one branch.
