From Femi Mustapha, in Kaduna
The Kaduna State Police Command has disowned a Facebook book post credited to one Hadaina Hussaini (Dan-taki), which has been making the rounds on various social media platforms with the caption ‘Kaduna Police Officer Threatens Retaliation Against Southerners in Uromi Killings’.
This was contained in a statement by the Police Public Relation Officer, PPRO, of the Command, DSP Hassan Mansir and made available to the media in Kaduna today.
The statement stated that ”to set the record straight, Hadian Hussaini is neither a member of the Nigeria Police Force nor a personnel of Kaduna State Police Command.
“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 suspect has been arrested and will be charged to court upon the completion of preliminary investigations in accordance to extant laws.
“The State Command, however, wishes to state categorically that, the Nigeria Police Force is a disciplined and regimented organisation committed to upholding law and order, and would not condone any form of incitement, hate speech, or threat to the peace and harmony of our dear country.
“The Commissioner of Police, CP Rabi’u Muhammad psc,mni wishes to once-again call on members of the general public to remain calm and continue to report suspicious incidents of this nature to the Police.”
