Malam Abubakar Abdulsalam, the father of the late schoolgirl Hanifa Abubakar, expressed his delight on Thursday that his daughter had received justice.

In response to the court’s decision to hang the murderer Tanko Abdulmalik and his accomplice Hashimu Ishyaku, Abubakar made this statement.

However, he commended the court’s decision.

“I’m happy that my daughter, Hanifa, has gotten justice today.

“We appreciated everyone’s effort, in this case, justice has been well served,” Abubakar stated.

Recall that little Hanifa was abducted by Tanko, her proprietor, sometime around December 4, 2021, when she was leaving Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi Islamiyya’s Islamiyya School.

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.

Recall also that the Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has promised that he would not hesitate to assent to the death sentence when passed by the court.
