A woman identified as Khadija is facing accusation of killing her 11-year-old daughter, Fadila, in the Tukur area of Zaria, Kaduna State.
According to reports, the tragic incident happened on Saturday just before the Maghrib prayer.
Khadija allegedly beat her daughter with a pestle after accusing her of stealing ₦100 she received during Sallah celebrations.
The incident sparked outrage in the neighbourhood, with some residents refusing to attend the girl’s funeral, citing what they called a grave injustice.
One woman in the area claimed, “This is not the first time she has beaten the girl. Whenever there’s a problem with her hawking, she beats her like she’s not even her child.”
Another neighbour added, “We refused to pray over her because justice was denied. Everyone acted like nothing seriously happened.”

“I came back to meet the situation. I don’t know how it happened,” he told local reporters.
Khadija, however, denied intentionally killing her daughter. “Yes, I beat her, but I didn’t mean to kill her. It was only the children at home at the time,” she said.
Fadila’s father took her body to their hometown in Kano State for burial and funeral rites. “I’ve left everything to God,” he said.
A local vigilante official said they initially invited Khadija and her husband for questioning but stepped aside after the police arrived to take over the case.
The Kaduna State Police Command’s spokesperson, DSP Mansur Hassan, is yet to make comments on the issue.
