A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Zaria, Kaduna State, Honourable Aliyu Habibu Dubanni has commended the Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje for his swift reaction to the murder of Hanifa Abubakar.
Speaking to media practitioners in his home town in Zaria, Kaduna State, Hon. Dubanni who is also the Village Head of Low Cost Kuyamban of Zaria Local Government Area explained that Governor Ganduje has demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities by ensuring that security agencies were able to track and arrest the culprit.
Dubanni further praised the Governor for going further to revoke licenses of private schools operators in order to forestall future occurrence.
“I will like to seize this opportunity to commend him for taking vital steps which culminated in the arrest of the kidnapper and killer of Hanifa Abubakar.
“The swift arrest of the murderer and the revocation of licences of private schools would send a strong signal to would-be kidnappers that Ganduje means business and that Kano is not safe for criminals.
“In this regards, the Kano State Governor has shown strong and excellent leadership qualities, Honourable Dubanni said.
The Zaria based politician and business mogul also warned parents to be mindful of which schools they choose for their children and wards.
He further warned guardians to be vigilant and watch their wards carefully.
Speaking further, Dubanni also lamented a similar scenario, which happened in Zaria.
“Asmau Alhaji Waallamu of Uban Dawaki was kidnapped for several weeks and was killed by kidnappers after collecting huge ransom from the family of the victim.
“Uptill now, the killers of Asmau have not been arrested and so no justice for her.
He prayed that the security agencies in Kaduna State would intensify efforts to arrest Asmau’s killers.
He also charged all Nigerians not to lose hope but keep praying for God’s intervention.
It would be recalled that Hanifa Abubakar a five-year old girl was allegedly kidnapped by the proprietor of her school and gruesomely murdered despite being paid ransom demanded for.
Governor Ganduje has since announced that once a death sentence is passed by the court, he would assent to it.
In addition to that, the governor has also revoked licenses of all private schools in the state following the dastardly event .
