"This little girl was abducted by kidnappers yesterday night Sunday, September 3rd, 2023 and was reportedly killed on Monday, September 4th, 2023 at Saminaka area of Gusau metropolis, Zamfara state. May her gentle soul rest in Jannatul Firdaus and let her father and mother bear the irreparable lost in good fate and the entire Muslim Ummah.

My special condolence to her dearest father Lawali and his wife Ikilima, relatives as well as family and friends,” he wrote.
