Noble Kids Comprehensive College, the school where suspected kidnappers buried a murdered five-year-old girl, Hanifa Abubakar, has been set ablaze by angry youths in Kano.

Confirming the incident on Monday, Police spokesperson in Kano, Abdullahi Kiyawa, said it happened in the middle of the night.

He said no casualty was recorded but parts of the school were damaged by the fire. No suspect has been arrested, he added.
