Nigeria’s first lady, Aisha Buhari, has supported the call for the execution of Kano schoolteacher, Abdulmalik Tanko, who killed a 5-year-old pupil of his school.
He had kidnapped the young girl in December 2021 and demanded a 6 million naira ransom from her family. He, however, killed and buried her in a shallow grave in the school, despite receiving part payment of the ransom over fear of being court.
In a video, serving rounds online, a popular Kano-based cleric, Malam Abdallah Gadon Kaya, asked that the self-confessed suspect be publicly executed.
The first lady reposted the video on her Instagram page, and in her caption, noted that she supports the punishment the cleric prescribed for the late minor to get justice.
“We support the justice of Malam”, she wrote.
