By: Muftau Fatimo
The former Zonal Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi South, Mrs Jamima J. Dutse, has been killed by unknown assailants at her residence in Bauchi State.
Dutse was reportedly attacked in her home before the assailants fled the scene.
Reacting to the incident, the Bauchi State chapter of the Take-It-Back (TIB) Movement condemned the killing, describing it as a “senseless” act of violence and an attack on the peace and security of the state.
In a statement issued on Sunday and signed by the movement’s Bauchi State Coordinator, Nazif Bashi, TIB sympathised with Dutse’s family, friends and associates, while urging security agencies to urgently investigate the circumstances surrounding her death.
The group called on the Bauchi State Police Command, Department of State Services (DSS) and other relevant security agencies to identify and arrest those responsible for the killing.
TIB also demanded transparent communication from the security agencies, including regular updates to Dutse’s family and the public on the progress of the investigation.
“Justice must not only be done; it must be seen to be done,” the group said, insisting that those responsible for the murder must be prosecuted and made to face the full wrath of the law.
The movement further urged the Bauchi State Government and security authorities to strengthen security measures, surveillance and intelligence gathering across Bauchi metropolis and neighbouring local government areas.
