10 year old primary 6 pupil, Musa Salisu, who was abducted by suspected
kidnappers on Monday June 6th in Kano state, has been found dead. Musa
was kidnapped by unknown persons while going on an errand for his
parents at Na’ibawa quarters in Kano.
Speaking on the incident, the deceased boy's uncle, Abdulrashid Garba,
who is also the Village Head of Na’ibawa, said the kidnappers demanded
for a N500, 000 ransom
“Two hours after Musa was kidnapped, one of the kidnappers called his
father’s GSM line and informed him that the boy was with them. They
demanded a ransom of N500, 000 and warned the family not to involve
police in the matter. I am suspecting that the kidnappers got the
information that the matter was reported to the police and that is why
they killed the boy. It was unfortunate that the innocent boy was killed
by the heartless kidnappers.”
Garba said the family got to know about the unfortunate murder of the
little boy around 6am yesterday when some people came to his house to
inform him about the discovery of a corpse at Kano Eastern-Bypass.
“When I went to the scene, I discovered that it was Daddy that was
killed and dumped there. I quickly informed the police about the
development,” he said.
The Kano State Police command confirmed the incident and said
investigations were ongoing. Two persons have already been arrested in
connection with the kidnap and murder.
