Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari has supported the call for capital punishment for the killer of five-year-old Hanifa Abubakar who was allegedly killed by her teacher.
The First Lady threw her weight behind the call for capital punishment
when she shared a video of an Islamic cleric making the call on Sunday.
She wrote in Hausa that she supports the cleric’s judgement. “We
support the judgment of malam,” the President’s wife stated.
In the video, the cleric, who spoke in Hausa, was heard saying that
capital punishment should be meted out on the killer of Hanifa.
He further stated that capital punishment would serve as a deterrent to
others who have the intention of carrying out such dastardly acts.
