The father of five-year-old Kano school girl, Hanifa Abubakar who was kidnapped and later gruesomely murdered by a teacher from her school has spoken out on the incident.

Naija News reports the father who wept uncontrollably while speaking with newsmen said it is an incident that can never be forgotten till he dies.

Though he acknowledged that every living being has a date with death someday, the emotional father said those who brought about the untimely death of his daughter have not been fair.

He said: “I am really in sorrow for what has happened. I can only thank God. This can happen to anyone and it is said that everyone who lives today will die someday, so I leave everything to God, but till I die, I will never forget this.

Tanko killed Hanifa five days after collecting part payment of the ₦6million ransom he demanded.
