The school 5-year-old pupil, Hanifa Abubakar, attended has been set ablaze by aggrieved locals.
Hanifa was a student of Noble Kids School in Kano. She was kidnapped on Dec. 2 and killed by Abdulmalik Tanko, the school proprietor.
On Monday, Jan. 24, Kano State police spokesman Abdullahi Kiyawa disclosed that angry youths set fire to the school in the middle of the night.
Although, there was no casualty in the incident, but parts of the school’s building were razed

Kano State Government last Friday ordered the immediate closure of the private school where Hanifa was abducted on December 2 by her teacher, Abdulmalik Tanko, who is also the proprietor of the private school.
