More Revelations Emerge About Hanifa’s Killer, Abdulmalik Tanko

A new report has emerged about the killer of five-year-old, Hanifa Abubakar, Abdulmalik Tanko, the proprietor of Noble Kids Academy Nursery and Primary School, Kwanar Dakata in Nasarawa Local Government of Kano State.

Tanko has been in the news in the past few days over the abduction and murder of Hanifa, a pupil of his school.

The news of the murder of Hanifa has stirred reactions across the nation with some asking who is to be trusted in this world.

A resident of the community who spoke with Daily Trust disclosed that the suspect was sacked from a private school, Ete Inoh International School, in Tudun Wada, over alleged misappropriation of funds.

The resident further stated that Tanko functioned as a teacher and headmaster before he was relieved of his duty in the school.

According to the resident, the suspect relocated to Tudun Murtala after he was sacked from the school.

He added the case was settled in one of the police stations in the area.

He said, “After he was sacked from the first school he served as a headmaster on alleged misappropriation of funds, he then settled in Tudun Murtala where he established a school, North West.

“As the business boomed he now rented a house in Kwanar Dakata in Yankaba and established another school called Nobel Kids Academy Nursery and Primary School from where the kid was abducted.”

The resident further stated that Tanko left his wife in charge of North West school and concentrated on Nobel Kids Academy Nursery and Primary School, Kwanar Dakata.

He added that the suspect had difficulty in social interaction and communication.

He said, “Tanko hardly associated with people and neighbours as his house was always locked. He was always quiet and seemed brooding.”
