KADUNA STATE POLICE COMMAND
PRESS RELEASE
4TH APRIL, 2025

POLICE DISOWNS IMPOSTOR IN UNIFORM, ARRESTS SUSPECT FOR INCITING COMMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA

The attention of Kaduna State Police Command has been drawn to a comment made on a Facebook book post credited to one Hadaina Hussaini (Dan-taki), which has been making rounds on various social media platforms with the caption “Kaduna Police Officer Threatens Retaliation Against Southerners in Uromi Killings”.

To set the record straight, Hadian Hussaini is neither a member of the Nigeria Police Force nor a personnel of Kaduna State Police Command.

It is pertinent to note that his picture captured on Police Uniform as displayed on the Social Media, which is an improper dressing, is that of him when he was a member of the Police Special Constabulary attached to Kaduna State Constabulary Office, but was dismissed from the voluntary outfit two (2) years ago due to his questionable character.

As such, members of the general public are advised to carefully observe the identity card attached to the uniform which contains the word ‘PSC/KD’ meaning Police Special Constabulary. Similarly, the pictures of him on uniform were posted on the Facebook platform two (2) years ago, prior to his dismissal.

The Suspect has been arrested and will be charged to court upon the completion of preliminary investigations in accordance to extant laws.

The State Command however wishes to state categorically that, the Nigeria Police Force is a disciplined and regimented organization committed to upholding law and order, and would not condone any form of incitement, hate speech, or threat to the peace and harmony of our dear Country.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Rabi'u Muhammad psc,mni wishes to once-again call on members of the general public to remain calm and continue to report suspicious incidents of this nature to the Police.

THEY ARE NOT REGULAR POLICEMEN!

Dear diary, do you remember back when I was always explaining what supernumerary police was? I explained it on very many other threads as well as this one because I saw lots of funny comments. It seems like I will soon have to do the same for special constabularies.


There is a Dutch woman named Noraly Schoenmaker (aka Itchy Boots), who travels around the world on a motorcycle and she does a vlog about her travels.

She travelled through Nigeria in October. She came in from Benin Republic, travelled up to Abuja (to get a Cameroon visa) and then went from Abuja to Cameroon. Her vlog was very interesting.

She passed through a lot of checkpoints on the way and her interactions with policemen and soldiers were very interesting. Most of her interactions were positive, with the policemen and soldiers offering advice and joking with her. However, for people that don't watch her vlog, this has been overshadowed by her interaction with two special constabularies.

What are special constabularies

Community policing

There has been a long running debate in Nigeria. Some people believ that the structure of the Nigerian Police Force is wrong. They believe that it is wrong to have policemen that can be posted to any state and who live in barracks. They believe that policemen should be from the local community and live among the people (community policing), so that they'll know the community very well and know the problems in the community.

Others believe that policemen that are part of the community in that way will be biased and cannot be impartial.


Special constabulary

Professor Yemi Osinbajo believed that we should have some form of community policing and he basically championed the idea in the last administration. This led to the expansion of the Special Constabulary.

In the UK special constabulary are part-time volunteer policemen.

In Nigeria, the Special Constabulary platform was used to achieve the idea of community policing.

States were asked to nominate people to become special constables. These special constables are meant to be members of the community in which they will operate. They were given a little police training by the Nigerian Police Force and they are expected to assist regular policemen with their knowledge of the community.


It was 2 of those special constables that demanded money from Itchy Boots.

That incident backs up what I wrote on this thread some months ago. Someone advocated for community policing and said that community policemen would not be antagonistic to civilians and would not demand bribes from them. I replied that there is community policing in the United States, yet policemen are antagonistic to civilians and also demand bribes, so community policing won't solve the problem.

I have my own theory about why regular policemen were very nice to Itchy Boots, while the Special Constabularies demanded for money.

Regular policemen are more experienced and they would know that demanding money from her would get them in trouble. That would be very clear to them (note: I am not saying that there are no nice policemen. There are, but the bad eggs would also not ask Norally for money because they know that they would get in trouble).

Unfortunately many civilians see the uniformed services as an opportunity to bully people and extort money from them and I am certain that some peoole will join the Special Constabulary with that idea, yet they are not as experienced as regular policemen.

This clown is supposed to be a police officer
