Hadaina Hussaini, also known as Dan-Taki, has been arrested by the Kaduna State Police Command following his controversial social media post threatening retaliatory violence against Southerners in response to the recent killings of 16 alleged hunters in Uromi, Edo State.

In his post, Hussaini, who was previously affiliated with the Police Special Constabulary, vowed to take action against Southerners living in Northern Nigeria, invoking the name of God to bolster his threat. His post quickly sparked widespread outrage and backlash, leading him to alter his Facebook profile, including changing his name and restricting access to his posts.
In a statement released on Friday, the Kaduna State Police Command distanced itself from Hussaini, clarifying that he is neither a member of the Nigerian Police Force nor currently affiliated with the Kaduna State Police Command.
The statement also explained that Hussaini had once served in the Police Special Constabulary, but was dismissed from the voluntary position two years ago due to concerns about his conduct. The photo of Hussaini in police uniform accompanying the Facebook post was taken during his time in the Special Constabulary, which the police clarified was an improper dress code as he had been dismissed.
The police emphasized that the uniform worn by Hussaini in the photo was outdated and did not reflect his current status, urging the public to pay close attention to identity cards that should accompany such uniforms, which include the words “PSC/KD” to denote the Police Special Constabulary.
Hussaini’s arrest comes as the police continue to investigate the incident. He will face legal action once the investigation is completed. The Kaduna State Police Command reiterated that the Nigerian Police Force is a professional institution committed to upholding peace and order and will not tolerate any actions or statements that incite hate or violence.
Kaduna State Police Commissioner, CP Rabi’u Muhammad, called on the public to remain calm and continue reporting similar incidents to the authorities, emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace and unity across the country.
