The Kano State Police Command on Tuesday said that suspected kidnappers 
abducted and slaughtered one  11-year-old boy in Kano.
The Public Relations Officer of the state police command,  Deputy Superintendent 
of Police (DSP),  Magaji Musa Majia, said on Tuesday that the  boy, identified as 
Musa Salisu, was sent on an errand by his father within the Naibawa quarters of 
the city at about 2pm on Monday and failed to return home as and when due.

Musa’s uncle, Abubakar Kafinta, told our correspondent that the family became
 apprehensive when the deceased did not come back home three hours after he 
was sent on an errand.The police spokesman, however, said that two suspects
 had been arrested in connection with the abduction of Musa, who he said was a
 Primary six pupil.
He said, “It was not immediately clear that the boy was abducted, until three hours
 later when an unidentified source phoned the family members about the 
unfortunate development.”
He explained that “the abductors demanded N500,000.00 ransom, to secure the
 boy’s release or else  they will take his life.”
According to Kafinta, the matter was promptly reported to the police, while concerted
 efforts were been made to meet their demand.
Kafinta, who was in tears added, “We contacted them (the abductors) through the 
same line they used to call us this morning (Tuesday) for a deal only to learn that the
 boy has been slaughtered.
“The abductors further gave us a detailed description of where they deposited his 
corpse at a spot on Eastern Bypass, Kano.”
Kafinta added that the boy had been buried according to Islamic rites
