The Kano State Police Command has apprehended a guy identified as Habibu Sale, 24, for allegedly kidnapping and killing an 8-year-old girl also identified as Asiya Tasiu.
The incident reportedly occurred in Chikawa village, Gabasawa LGA of the state, and he deliberately killed the girl after collecting a ransom of N500,000.
Confirming the news, the state’s police command spokesperson, DSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa said;
“The culprit kidnapped the little girl, Asiya Tasiu and demanded for the ransom of N10 million which was negotiated down to N500,000.
They paid him the ransom but despite that he refused to release her and at the end he killed her and buried her in a shallow grave he dug.
Since the matter was reported to us about 154 days ago, we have been trailing him. We trailed him to Jigawa, Kano, Katsina, Kaduna, Abuja and even to the southern state of Abia State.
But at the end we succeeded in arresting him. We arrested him Nov. 7. The CP has ordered that the body of the little girl be exhumed from the grave and handed over to the parents for burial rites.”
