An eight-year-old girl Aisha Sani, who was kidnapped two weeks ago in Tudunwada quarters of Kano State by unknown lady, has been found dead.

According to reports, Aisha, who was abducted when she closed from an Islamiyya School with her siblings, was taken away by another lady who covered her face with veil. The suspected kidnapper and her gang members reached out to Aisha’s parents one week later, demanding N200 million ransom.

The kidnappers further requested that the ransom should be given to her mother who would now take the money to them. Sadly, after two weeks of intensified search and investigations by the police, little Aisha’s corpse was found on Monday. She was hacked to death by her kidnappers.

Her parents have taken custody of her body for burial.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is set to reward one of its personnel, Aircraftman (ACM) Bashir Umar, who found and returned the sum of 37,000 Euros to Alhaji Ahmad, the owner of the lost money.

The incident occured at the Hajj Camp Market in Kano on Tuesday 16 July 2019, when ACM Bashir, who is a member of the NAF Mobile Air Defence Team (#MADT) deployed for airport security duties, while on routine patrol with some of his colleagues, found the money in a parcel.

Fortunately, there was a phone number on the parcel which he called, and eventually handed over the package to the owner.

Consequently, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has directed the Chief of Administration at the Headquarters NAF, Air Vice Marshal Kingsley Lar, to immediately come up with modalities to reward the Umar so as to encourage others.

The Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) otherwise known as the Shiites group has alleged that 11 of its members were killed in a clash with the police in Abuja on July 22nd.

It also claimed that 30 others were injured in the fracas – it stated that out of those injured, the police went to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital in Gwagwalada and took them to an unknown place.

The figures were contained in an update by the President of the Media Forum of Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), Ibrahim Musa.

The statement read,

“Abuja today (on Monday) yet again witnessed one of the worst cases of blatant trampling of the rights of citizens ever seen in the Federal Capital, when joint security forces consisting of both uniformed men and officers of the Nigerian Police Force and others in mufti, unleashed their fury on a Free Zakzaky protest by members of the Islamic Movement.

“The procession, attended by several thousands of persons, including very young children, the aged, women and the physically challenged, met with an extreme rage indicative of deep seated animosity the Nigerian authorities bear for the Movement.

“What actually happened was that the protesters started the procession from NITEL junction and on getting to federal secretariat the police cordoned off the road and started firing at them.

A lot of people have been shot but for now we can only confirm 11 deaths, but several are injured, the figure for now stood at 30. Though we are aware of the fact that the security agents have been going around taking off those they killed from the streets.

“Even some seriously injured persons that were taken to Abuja University teaching Hospital Gwagwalada; the police went there and took away about 11 people they shot during the protest. We strongly dispute the claim by the police that the protesters shot at them because throughout our processions we have not been carrying any arms right from 2015 to date.

It was also the police who shot at the Reporter of Channels TV, another indication that many innocent people were shot at by the police, including some of their own. In this era of social media the brutality displayed by the police today has been captured with some pictures showing the police setting up the bonfires and there are videos that captured the police carting away their victims”.
