This morning, enraged youths in the ancient city of Kano torched Noble Kids Comprehensive College, the school where the kidnappers of the five-year-old girl, Hanifa Abubakar, killed and buried her remains.
The private school is located at Kwanar Dakata in Nassarawa local government area of Kano metropolis.
Hanifa was abducted on December 2 by her teacher, Abdulmalik Tanko, who is also the proprietor of the private school. He has been nabbed by the Police while the school was closed by the state government.
Abbdullahi Kiyawa, spokesperson for the Kano police Command this morning said that the angry youth set fire to the school in the middle of the night. He said there was no casualty in the incident, but parts of the school’s building were razed.
Kiyawa added that the police are yet to arrest any suspect in the incident.
Last Thursday, the teacher-kidnapper led police officers to the school premises where the remains of Hanifa were found buried in a shallow grave.
The little girl’s body was dismembered before being buried. The remains were then exhumed for medical examination ahead of proper burial by her family.
