It was reported that Tanko, the proprietor of the school, confessed to the killing of Hanifa with rat poison.
He further dismembered and buried her secretly at one of the branches of the school. The victim was kidnapped in December and killed shortly after, though her abductors had demanded a N6million ransom for her release.
It was while trying to get part of the ransom money that the proprietor of the school was nabbed by security forces.
