A high court in Kano state has sentenced Abdulmalik Tanko, the self-confessed killer of Hanifa Abubakar, a five-year-old girl, to death.
Tanko and 37-year-old Hashimu Isyaku, his co-defendant, were sentenced to death by hanging.
Delivering the judgment on Thursday, Usman Na’abba also sentenced Fatima Musa to two years imprisonment.
Tanko, proprietor of the school Hanifa attended, was paraded by the police in January 2022, during which he confessed to having killed the girl with rat poison and buried her in a shallow grave.
