The Director General of the Childs Right Agency, Mariam Kolo, who confirmed this to PUNCH said that Baby Buhari had slight malaria which made his temperature to rise, adding that he died even after he had been administered his prescribed drug.
Kolo said that the boy had been slated to undergo a genital transplant in the United Kingdom before he died.
She said that the sickness was not a relapse on his health as he was doing extremely well after series of corrective surgeries carried out on him.
She expressed sadness over the death of the baby who is now over a year old.
The DG said the case of the step mother who is currently being remanded in the Old Minna Prison would be determined.
She said that the state Governor, Abubakar Sani Bello, and his wife are devastated by the death of the baby.
On the 18th of June, 2016, two months old Buhari Dauda genitals were chopped off by his 17-year-old stepmother, Bara’atu Rabiu, who gave no cogent reason for the act.
The state government moved in to savage the situation by working towards ensuring the baby grows up into adulthood with a functional manhood, moves which was truncated with his demise.
