Abdulazeez Idris, a resident of Angwan Juma’a in Zaria Local Government Area of Kaduna State, has been taken into custody for the alleged kidnapping and murder of his 6-year-old cousin, Aisha Saidu.
The tragic incident took place as young Aisha was on her way to Islamiyya school when she was abducted by her own cousin, Abdulazeez.

The suspect confessed to the crime, admitting to slaying his innocent cousin by slashing her neck with a razor blade before disposing of her body in a well.
CP Audu Dabigi, the Commissioner of Police, has pledged a thorough investigation to ensure justice for Aisha and her bereaved family. Once the investigation is concluded, Abdulazeez will face charges in court for his alleged heinous actions.
This shocking incident has sent shockwaves through the community of Angwan Juma’a in Zaria, prompting calls for increased vigilance and security measures to protect vulnerable individuals, especially children.
As the case unfolds, the authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.
