According to eyewitnesses, Hafsat, whose father Alhaji Zilkifilu Abdullahi Ajiya Argungu is a retired customs officer has been out of school (both Islamic and western) for a while now ran to the neighbor’s house early today while she was been punished for being stubborn.
The neighbors reported the case to the Human Rights Commission in Sokoto state.
