“Despite moves by some individuals to infuse diverters into the reported case of a fatal rape against nine-year-old Rumaisa Sadiq, the Commissioner of Ministry of Women, Children and the Disabled, Hajiya Aisha Lawan Saji Rano, has insisted that there must be justice for the late victim and her family.

“Speaking during a condolence visit to the family house of the victim, the Commissioner said, ‘There must be justice for the little girl who lost her life simply because someone chose to display his animalistic instinct on her.

“In fact, full and quick dispensation of justice in this case is necessary in order to serve as a lesson and deterrence to others like this grown-up person that carried out this merciless act against an innocent nine-year-old girl.

“The Kano State Government under the justice-loving Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf will follow up the case in court to a conclusive end.

“It could, however, be recalled that Rumaisa was allegedly raped by the owner of a chemist where she was taken to by her father for treatment against malaria.”
