President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with the family of late five-year-old school girl Hanifa Abubakar.
She was found dead in a shallow grave in Kano after nearly two months of fruitless search.
Senior special assistant to the president, Garba Shehu in a statement disclosed that the president while mourning the lost of the child, praised the work of the police and secret service for unraveling the mystery behind the disappearance of Hanifa, and particularly for the arrest of her teacher and his other accomplices suspected of the child’s kidnap and murder.
Buhari said the family and the whole nation which followed up on Hanifa’s travail every day since her disappearance in December last year were hoping for the girl to have been rescued alive and well, adding however that the very thorough and painstaking detective operation by the law enforcement bodies, leading to the discovery of the corpse and the arrest of the suspects who have already made confessions was commendable, calling it an achievement that should instill more public confidence in the authorities.
“When breakthroughs like this happen, people will talk differently of law enforcement,” said the President.
He prayed for the repose of the soul of the little school girl and urged her parents to bear the sad loss with courage and fortitude in God.
Buhari also urged the police and ministry of justice to uphold the integrity of the detective work that busted the case by preparing well and presenting a good case that will earn the respect of the court.
