    Lie! Woman Not Arrested, Prosecuted For Criticising Sokoto Governor -Police

    The Police in Sokoto State has dismissed a report in an online platform which alleged that it arrested and detained a woman, Hamdiyya Sidi, for criticising Governor Ahmed Aliyu.

    Denouncing the report as unfounded and a tissue of lie, the Police in Sokoto said that the arrest of the said woman has nothing to do with the state governor.

    Instead, the Police said the woman was arrested after a report was made to the Police acusing her of inciting the people to violence.

    In an update on the matter offered by the Police and signed by the Public Relations Office of the Sokoto State Police Command, Ahmed Rufai, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, it said the woman had during investigation admitted to inciting the people to violence.

    According to the statement, the woman allegedly presented herself as a community humanitarian worker who needed to address women and youths as well as make certain donations to them only to turn around to incite them to violence after gaining their confidence.

    The statement reads: “The attention of the Nigeria Police Force, Sokoto Command, has been drawn to the ongoing falsehood and misinformation circulated by gistcore media and other social media handles on the purported story that the Nigeria police Sokoto command secretly arrested and arrainged a woman who lamented on the recent rise in killings in Sokoto for embarrassing Governor Aliyu Ahmed Sokoto. This is false and misleading.

    “We wish to make the record straight: On the 3rd of November 2024 at 1700hrs one Marafa Yakubu ‘m’ the village head of Sabon Birnin Daji village in Wurno local government area reported to the police that a woman later identified as one Hamdiyya Sidi ‘f’ of Munki village in Wurno local government area came to the village and deceived him that she is a member of that community representing a charitable organization meant to assist women and youth, that she wanted to address woman and distribute relief items to the less privileged in the society.

    “To his greatest dismay while she was addressing the women he noticed that rather than distributing relief items as she claimed, she was inciting the women against the government by telling them to forcefully take over government properties in Wammako local government area of Sokoto state, stating that it belongs to them.

    “Noticing the tension in the community as a result of her incitement, he quickly alerted the community guards who arrested her and handed her over to the police.

    “During interrogation, the suspect confessed to the offence and was charged to court within 24hrs for the offence of inciting disturbance,” the Police said.

    Speaking further, the Police said, “One of our constitutional responsibilities is to investigate crimes both simple and capital in nature; to this end, the case of Hamdiyya is no exception.

    “Therefore, the Commissioner of police urges all citizens to be wary of the kind of information they throw into the public space and refrain from false and misleading information that could ignite disaffection and disrupt the fragile peace the state is enjoying.

    “Sokoto state police command remains resolute in upholding the fundamental human rights while discharging our duty.”
