The editors,


CP Sani-Omolori appealed for calm as he directed the State Intelligence Department(SID) to initiate a thorough and discreet investigation into the  Dutsen-Tanshi incident.


On April 4, 2024, at about 14:45, a concerned citizen reported an incident involving Ahmad Isa Jaja, the Chief Imam of Galli Mosque in the Jahun area of Bauchi Metropolis. During his Friday sermon, the Imam made inappropriate remarks towards the late Malam Idris Abdulazeez Dutsen-Tanshi. This statement incited unrest among the followers of the late Malam Idris, who subsequently gathered at the mosque to express their discontent.


In response to the situation, the Commissioner of Police Bauchi State Police Command, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, Psc(+) Mni, promptly deployed a team of tactical Units led by the Divisional Police Officer(DPO) Dutsen-Tanshi to the location. They effectively intervened to ensure the safety of both the Imam and the congregation, dispersing the crowd peacefully and professionally. Following this intervention, the Imam was taken into protective custody, and the Commissioner directed the State Investigation Department(SID) to initiate a comprehensive investigation into the incident.


CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu has emphasised the importance of religious leaders, recognising their rights to freedom of expression while urging them to refrain from using the pulpit to express insults, derogatory remarks, and abusive remarks towards any individual or group. These leaders must foster an environment of peace and harmony within the community through their sermons, irrespective of different opinions or religious beliefs. Accordingly, it is crucial that they demonstrate respect for established authorities moving forward.

Police Public Relations Officer,

For: Commissioner of Police,

Bauchi State Command.
