President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday, expressed the nation’s condolences to the family of the kidnapped and murdered five-year-old schoolgirl, Hanifa Abubakar.

The body of the schoolgirl was discovered in a shallow grave in Kano after almost two months of fruitless search.

Buhari’s condolence was disclosed in a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.

According to Shehu, Buhari praised the work of the Police and the secret service in 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.

“President 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,” Shehu said.

He quoted Buhari as saying “When breakthroughs like this happen, people will talk differently of law enforcement.”

Shehu said Buhari 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.

This is as he 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.
