A police officer in Kaduna State, Hadaina Hussaini Dan-Taki, has reacted to the recent lynching of 16 travellers of Northern extraction in Uromi, Edo State, threatening retaliatory attacks against Southerners living in northern Nigeria.
Dan-Taki’s comments came after the brutal killing of 16 northerners by an illegal vigilante group in Uromi, Esan North-East local government area of Edo State.
In a heated Facebook comment on Tuesday, Dan-Taki vowed by Almighty God that northerners would take decisive action against southerners in their domain.
Dan-Taki 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.”
Following persistent criticisms of his comment, Dan-Taki changed his first name and restricted access to his Facebook page, limiting users’ viewing of his posts and comments.
However, an X (formerly Twitter) user identified as UcheDIgboezeson shared a screenshot of Dan-Taki’s post, tagging Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, with the caption, “#Princemoye1, take care of this sir.”
Adejobi promptly acknowledged the post, stating, “Noted for necessary action. Thanks.”
