“Despite moves by some individuals to infuse diverters into the reported case of a fatal rape against nine year old Rumaisa Sadiq, the Commissioner of Ministry of Women, Children and the Disabled, Hajiya Aisha Lawan Saji Rano has insisted that there must be justice for the late victim and her family.

“Speaking during a condolence visit to the family house of the victim, the Commissioner said, “there must be justice for the little girl who lost her life simply because someone chose to display his animalistic instinct on her.

“Infact, full and quick dispensation of justice in this case is necessary in order to serve as lesson and deterrence to others like this grown up person that carried out this merciless act against an innocent nine year old girl.

“The Kano State Government under the justice-loving Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf will follow up the case in court to a conclusive end.

“In addition to this assurance, the Commissioner also conveyed His Excellency’s condolences to the family and offered her assistance to the family, which included a bag of 50kg rice, a bag of maize, a carton of Macaroni and a gallon of vegetable oil.

“It could however be recalled that Rumaisa was allegedly raped by the owner of a chemist where she was taken to by her father for treatment against malaria.”

“According to the Founder, Hidaya Ahmad VVF Aid Foundation, Hajiya Nafisa Salisu Ahmad, who first hinted the Commissioner of the incidence, the case which is already before a court of law, is already attracting concerns from a number of human rights organizations.

“Hajiya Nafisa who accompanied the Commissioner’s delegation to the victim’s family house, also thanked Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and Honourable Aisha Lawan Saji Rano for their constant efforts in the struggles against injustice and inhumanity.

“The father of the victim, Alhaji Sadiq who was in hand to receive the delegation, expressed happiness over the Honourable Commissioner’s efforts and His Excellency’s concerns. He prayed to God to keep on protecting them as He sees them through the rigours and demands of office.

“Earlier, the bereaved mother who is apparently yet to recover from the shock of the unfortunate incidence that led to the death of her daughter, thanked both Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and Honourable Aisha Saji for making efforts to comfort the family and to assure them of justice,”
