Less than a week after police arrested Abdulmalik Muhammad Tanko for allegedly kidnapping and killing a 5-year-old pupil in Kano, he is said to have been presented before a court in Kano for trial, BBC Hausa reports.

Reporters around the vicinity of the court have reported that there are many security personnel deployed to maintain law and order in the place.

The early trial of Abdulmalik might be due to the number of strong voices that are glamouring for him to be dealt with decisively, having confessed to the crime he has committed publicly.



President Muhammadu Buhari, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, A'isha Buhari and many more have assured Nigerians that justice will be done as early as possible.

Tension is increasing in Kano after the news broke to the internet, Daily Nigerian newspaper that some aggrieved youth have set ablaze the Noble Kids Academy founded by Abdulmalik this morning.

As the trial begins many angered Kano people will have a sight of relief that something is about to be done soon.
