The proprietor of Noble Kids Nursery and Primary School, Kawana, Kano, Abdulmalik Tanko has narrated how he used a N100 rat poison to kill his school kid, a five-year-old Hanifa Abubakar.
SaharaReporters had reported how Tanko masterminded the abduction of Hanfia, while on her way from Islamiyya School in December and subsequently killed.

“I now took her to Tudunwada area. I laced her tea with rat poison,” he added.
