Read Time:2 Minute, 32 Second
The House of Representatives on Tuesday called on the Federal Government to quickly catch and charge the armed attackers who attacked and killed five police officers on Saturday, November 29, 2025, in Sabon Sara, Darazo/Ganjuwa Federal Constituency of Bauchi State.
The officers — DSP Ahmad Muhammad, ASP Mustapha Muhammad, Inspector Amarhel Yunusa, Inspector Idris Ahmed, and Corporal Isah Muazu — were attacked during a security operation in the area.
Two other officers, Inspector Isah Musa and Inspector Yusuf Gambo, were hurt.
When moving the motion, Hon Mansur Soro, who represents the constituency, said the killings happened while the officers were doing their job legally.
According to him, “The House is worried because there is solid information connecting the attack to a group of armed people who are opposing the arrest of the former leader of Sabon Sara village. These people‘s actions continue to threaten security and the stability of the community.“
Soro praised Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, for the security work his government has done.
He said, “Bauchi State has not had any banditry or other groups acting outside the government for the past six years, and they responded quickly to the attack in Sabon Sara.”
He also warned that the families of the killed officers are going through a lot of trouble.
“The House is concerned that the families of the dead and injured officers are facing serious emotional and financial difficulties and need help right away.”
Soro emphasized how important it is to have support from institutions, saying, “It’s really important to show support for officers who are killed or hurt while doing their job. This helps keep the morale and performance of the Nigeria Police Force strong.“
The House approved the motion by voice vote, asking the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, the Police Trust Fund, and the North East Development Commission to give immediate help and support to the families of the deceased officers.
This includes giving them money and helping their children with education.
Lawmakers also asked the Inspector-General of Police to speed up the payment of benefits and insurance money, and to make sure that injured officers get all the medical treatment they need.
The House also told the Committee on National Security and Police Affairs to work with other security groups to make sure everything is done properly.
States across the North-East and North-West have recorded multiple incidents where police patrol teams, divisional headquarters and mobile units are ambushed by criminal elements seeking to obstruct arrests, retaliate against enforcement operations or assert territorial control.
In many cases, officers are targeted while responding to distress calls or attempting to apprehend local strongmen, bandit leaders or individuals linked to rural power tussles.
Because of tough land, armed groups, and smarter criminal groups, it’s hard for police to work safely in many countryside areas.
These ongoing attacks have made police worried about their confidence, slowed down help for families who are hurt, and shown that better tools, sharing information, and working with people in the community are needed.
