The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested two men suspected of involvement in an attack on a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secretariat in Bauchi metropolis.
The suspects, identified as Hamza Abdullahi, popularly known as “Dawa,” and Abdul Malik Dahiru, also known as “Black,” were arrested following an incident involving the alleged destruction of property and disruption of political activities.
The incident occurred on May 24, 2026, at the PDP secretariat along Maiduguri Bypass, Bauchi, while a governorship primary election was reportedly underway.
According to the police, unidentified persons stormed the secretariat, disrupted activities, vandalised campaign banners belonging to a PDP governorship aspirant and damaged the windscreens of several vehicles parked nearby before fleeing on motorcycles.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Bauchi State, SP Nafiu Habib, said operatives attached to the command’s B Division, GRA, launched an investigation following reports of the incident.
He explained that intelligence-led investigations subsequently led to the identification and arrest of the two suspects.
The police said the suspects were being investigated for alleged criminal conspiracy, disturbance of public peace and malicious damage. They were transferred to the Violent Crime Response Unit for further investigation.
The command added that the suspects would be charged in court after the investigation was concluded.
The Commissioner of Police in Bauchi State, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, warned against violence, political thuggery and other activities capable of disrupting public peace, particularly during political gatherings.
He urged residents to remain law-abiding and report suspicious activities to security agencies.
The allegations against the two suspects have not been established in court.
