“I swear to Almighty God, we must do something for you guys…after one week you shall see the result.” – Officer Hadaina Dan-Taki’s Facebook post
“Noted for necessary action. Thanks.” – Force PRO Olumuyiwa Adejobi’s response
A Kaduna State police officer, Hadaina Hussaini Dan-Taki, has drawn sharp criticism after threatening reprisal attacks against southern Nigerians residing in the north. The officer’s inflammatory Facebook comments, made in response to the killing of 16 northerners in Edo State, included the vow: “I swear to Almighty God…after one week you shall see the result.” Following public outcry, the officer restricted his Facebook profile while social media users alerted authorities.
The Nigeria Police Force has acknowledged the incident, with Force Public Relations Officer Olumuyiwa Adejobi responding to a concerned citizen’s tweet: “Noted for necessary action. Thanks.” The prompt response comes as the controversial post continues to circulate online, raising concerns about ethnic tensions and professional conduct within the police force.
