”I am so sorry”- School proprietor who confessed to k!lling five-year-old Hanifa Abubakar pleads with her parents.
Abdulmalik Tanko, the proprietor of Noble Kids Nursery and Primary School, Kawana, Kano, who has confessed to k!lling one of his students, five-year-old Hanifa Abubakar, has appealed to her parents to forgive him.
Tanko was paraded before newsmen on Friday, January 21. While being paraded, he confessed to placing N100 worth of rat poison into a drink he gave Hanifa which she drank and then died. He thereafter buried her inside his school compound.
In his confessional video, Tanko dismissed claims that he killed Hanifa for ritual purposes. According to him, he buried her in his school premises because he couldn’t find another secured place to bury her.
He said he abducted Hanifa and demanded ransom from her parents because he was going through financial crisis.
”I just want to plead with the parents. I am so sorry for what I did to them. I have killed their daughter so I am very sorry. This is a life, a life is something precious”.
