Jummai Hassan
Nigerian police, in July 2017, arrested a 13-year-old girl over the ritual-linked killings of 51 people, including her father. Jummai Hassan, from northeast Nigeria and a student of Maimalari Government Secondary School, Maiduguri confessed to participating in the heinous crime for about seven years. She said she was a member of a cult and had killed her father because he was “stopping her from taking the life of her grandmother.” Hassan allegedly went on a hunger strike when she was detained.
