The death of the six-year-old Hanifa had generated outrage across the country as the First Lady, Aisha Buhari, who on a visit to the Kano State governor, called for justice for the slain girl.
Tanko, alongside his accomplice, Hashim Isyaku and Fatima Musa, were arraigned before the Kano State High Court on a five-count charge of criminal conspiracy, kidnapping, confinement, and culpable homicide contrary to Sections 97, 274, 277, 221 of the penal code. Tanko kidnapped and killed Hanifa, a five-year-old pupil on December 4, 2021, while she was returning from Islamiyya school and subsequently buried her in a shallow grave.
The judge, Usman Nababa, sentenced, Tanko, 38, and Hashimu Isyaku, 38, to death by hanging for the kidnapping, and killing of Hanifa Abubakar.
