Uromi killings: Man in police uniform who threatened reprisal arrested

The Kaduna State Police Command has distanced itself from an individual, Hadaina Hussaini (Dan-taki), who was seen wearing a police uniform while making inflammatory comments on social media.

Reports indicate that Hussaini, posing as a law enforcement officer, issued threats of retaliation against southerners residing in northern Nigeria. His remarks came after the brutal killings of 16 northerners in Uromi, Esan North East Local Government Area of Edo State.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Hussaini swore by Almighty God, vowing that northerners would take severe action against southerners. He wrote, “I swear to Almighty God, we must do something for you guys, have you forgotten all your brothers that are leaving here in the North make my word, after one week you shall see the result.”

A statement issued by the command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Mansir Hassan, clarified on Friday night that Hussaini is not a member of the Nigeria Police Force, nor is he affiliated with the Kaduna State Police Command. According to the police, Hussaini had once been a part of the Police Special Constabulary at the Kaduna State Constabulary Office, but he was dismissed two years ago due to his questionable conduct.

Hassan cautioned the public to be vigilant and ensure they verify the identity cards of police personnel. He also confirmed that the suspect had been apprehended and would face legal proceedings after a preliminary investigation.

The statement explained, “The attention of Kaduna State Police Command has been drawn to a comment made on a Facebook post credited to one Hadaina Hussaini (Dan-taki), which has been circulating on various social media platforms with the caption ‘Kaduna Police Officer Threatens Retaliation Against Southerners in Uromi Killings.’”

“It is pertinent to note that Hussaini is neither a member of the Nigeria Police Force nor a personnel of Kaduna State Police Command. The image of him in police uniform shared on social media was from when he was part of the Police Special Constabulary, a position he was dismissed from two years ago due to his questionable character.”

The statement continued, “The suspect has been arrested and will be charged in court after the completion of preliminary investigations according to the law. The Kaduna Police Command emphasizes that the Nigeria Police Force remains a disciplined institution that does not tolerate incitement or hate speech.”

Police Commissioner, CP Rabi’u Muhammad, urged the public to remain calm and continue reporting suspicious activities to the authorities.
