KADUNA POLICE COMMAND DENIES TIES TO VIRAL FIGURE HADAINA HUSSAINI
The Kaduna State Police Command has distanced itself from a viral social media post featuring Hadaina Hussaini, also known as Dan-taki, who appeared in police uniform making provocative comments about the recent Uromi killings. According to DSP Mansir Hassan, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Hussaini is not a serving officer and has no current affiliation with the Command. Hassan explained that Hussaini was once a member of the Police Special Constabulary, a voluntary unit, but was dismissed two years ago due to misconduct and questionable character. The photos circulating online, which show Hussaini in police attire, were taken before his dismissal and bear the tag ‘PSC/KD’, indicating his former affiliation with the Special Constabulary. Hussaini has been arrested and will face charges in court once preliminary investigations are completed. The Kaduna State Police Command reaffirmed its commitment to professionalism and cautioned against spreading hate speech or inciting statements that could disrupt public peace. State Commissioner of Police, CP Rabi’u Muhammad, urged citizens to remain calm and vigilant, reporting any suspicious activity to the authorities. “We will charge him in court once our investigations are completed, in accordance with the law,” the police statement read. The Command’s stance aims to maintain public trust and ensure that those who misuse police uniforms and authority are held accountable.
