Kano Mother Alleges School Tortured 14-Year-Old to Death Over Missed Prayer
A mother in Kano State says her 14-year-old daughter, Maimuna (also known as Nihal), was forced to kneel on a rocky surface under the midday sun as punishment for missing an early morning Islamic prayer. She collapsed after hours of kneeling and was pronounced dead at the hospital. The grieving parent claims school authorities denied her requests for water throughout the punishment. Witnesses later came forward to confirm the prolonged ordeal, and she alleges the school initially concealed the true cause of her daughter’s collapse. The allegations have sparked outrage online. Nigerians are demanding an independent investigation and that anyone found responsible be held accountable.
