Outrage has greeted the abduction and murder of a five-year-old girl, Hanifa Abubakar in Kano state.
Until her demise, Hanifa attended Noble Kids Academy located in Kwanar Dakata in Nassarawa local government area of Kano.
Kano State Government has ordered the immediate closure of the school.
In connection to her death, the Police in Kano has arrested two suspects, Abdulmalik Mohammed and Hashim Isyaku.
