Uromi killings: Fake policeman arrested for inciting violence in Edo

A man, Hadaina Hussaini Dan-Taki has been arrested by the Kaduna Police Command for threatening a reprisal attack over Edo killing.

Disclosing this, the Police Public Relations Officer in Kaduna, DSP Mansir Hassan said the suspect is an impostor in police uniform, noting that he is neither a member of the Nigeria Police Force nor a personnel of Kaduna State Police Command.

According to him, “the attention of Kaduna State Police Command has been drawn to a comment made on a Facebook book post credited to one Hadaina Hussaini (Dan-taki), which has been making rounds on various social media platforms with the caption “Kaduna Police Officer threatens Retaliation Against Southerners in Uromi Killings.

“To set the record straight, Hadian Hussaini is neither a member of the Nigeria Police Force nor a personnel of Kaduna State Police Command.”

He said the suspect has been arrested and will be charged to court upon the completion of preliminary investigations in accordance to extant laws.

“It is pertinent to note that his picture captured on Police Uniform as displayed on the social media, which is an improper dressing, is that of him when he was a member of the Police Special Constabulary attached to Kaduna State Constabulary Office, but was dismissed from the voluntary outfit two (2) years ago due to his questionable character.

“As such, members of the general public are advised to carefully observe the identity card attached to the uniform which contains the word ‘PSC/KD’ meaning Police Special Constabulary. Similarly, the pictures of him on uniform were posted on the Facebook platform two (2) years ago, prior to his dismissal,” the statement added.
