Abdulmalik Tanko, Proprietor of Noble Kids School in Nasarawa Local Government Area of Kano, has been arraigned before a magistrate Court in the state.
Tanko was arraigned before Senior magistrate, Muhammad Jibril, over the murder of Hanifa Abubakar, a five-year-old pupil.
Tanko had confessed killing Hanifa with rat poison after abducting her last December.
Earlier, angry youths stormed the school premises very early on Monday morning and set it ablaze, purportedly in protest against the killing of the five-year-old.
Hanifa was abducted by Tanko who demanded ransom from her parents and later killed her in December last year.
The disturbing news of her death became a major discourse after the Police Public Relations Officer in Kano, Haruna Kiyawa, confirmed to reporters last Friday that Hanifa’s teacher, one Abdulmalik Tanko, was indicted in the murder.
He revealed that Abdulmalik confessed that he kidnapped the girl and took her to his house where he contacted her relatives and demanded a ransom of N6 million.
The said teacher later conspired with one Hashim Isyaku to kill the girl on December 18, 2021, having realised that the victim had recognised him.
They buried Hanifa in a shallow grave within the school premises located at Kwanar ‘Yan Gana in Tudun Murtala Quarters.
