A Nigerian Policeman of northern origin, Hadaina Hussaini, has allegedly vowed to take revenge over the killing of 16 northern travellers at Uromi community in Edo state.
NPO Reported that the travellers, claimed to Hausa hunters, were mistaken for kidnappers over their possession of Dane guns discovered by security operatives at the community.
Commenting on a Facebook post over the hunters’ killing, Hussaini threatened reprisal as he noted the presence of Southerners across the North.
“I swear to Almighty God. We must do something for you guys. Have you forgotten your brothers that are leaving here in the North? 😡😡😡😡 Mark my word, after one week, you shall see the result.” The Police officer had posted.
However, the Federal Government has taken over the case with at least 14 suspects in connection to the killing now arrested.
NPO also Reported the heavy presence of security agencies across Uromi community where horrific incident occured.
