Abdulmalik Tanko, the main suspect in the kidnap and murder case of five-year-old Hanifa Abubakar has begged a Kano court on Monday to provide a lawyer to represent him as he doesn’t have one.
The police in January 2020 arrested three suspects, including Abdulmalik, over the abduction and killing of Hanifa. Abdulmalik, who was Hanifa’s school proprietor appeared in court with two other suspects but the case could not go on as they had no lawyer to represent them, BBC Pidgin reports. "I don’t have a lawyer at the moment because we don’t have access to anyone but I’m begging the government to provide me with one," Abdulmalik said.
And he will never get one.
Capital punishment - no mercy !!
What’s there to represent?
There's nothing like 'alleged' here! He confessed to the crime of 'kidnapping and murder' of a girl child. It's an 'open and closed' case. He's simply to be sentenced based on his confessions.
This motherfucker supposed to be dead by now😤 wtf are they waiting for🤷🏻♂️
