Daily Trust reports last December how the suspects, 20-year-old Adamu Abdul Ra’uf and 19-year-old Abdukadir Wada Haladu of Gandu area in Jama’are town, lured little Hawa’u into an uncompleted building where they cut off her genitals for ritual purposes.
She was rushed to Aminu Kano University Teaching Hospital in Kano for treatment at the instance of the State Governor, Bala Mohammed.
Hawa’u was handed over to the Bauchi State Governor Mohammed at the Government House by State Commissioner of Health, Dr Aliyu Mohammed Maigoro in company of her parents.
Mohammed, who stated that communities must stand up to stop “this dehumanising act of savagery”, said the government could not do it alone.

FOR five-year-old Hawa’u, there can’t be a more horrible day than Wednesday, December 30, 2020. That day has left her with a scar that is going to last a lifetime.
At about 3.00 p.m., she was sent on an errand to a neighbour’s house. The locality is called Kasuwan Shanu, in Unguwar Zango in Jama’are town. It was while running the errand that two men accosted her. The men first asked her to go into the same house she had been sent to and call out one Maryam for them, knowing well that there was no Maryam in that house.
