POLICE DECLARE BAUCHI REP WANTED OVER MURDER.

The Force Headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has declared the current member of the House of Representatives representing Bauchi Federal Constituency, Hon Yakubu Shehu Abdullahi, wanted.

Abdullahi was declared wanted alleged criminal conspiracy, causing grievous hurt, disturbance of public peace and culpable homicide.

The police further announced N1 million reward for anyone with useful information that could lead to the arrest of the 45-year-old lawmaker.

The declaration is contained in the Special Police Gazette Bulletin

The bulletin which has the picture and address of the lawmaker on it, was from the State Criminal Investigation Department of the Bauchi State Police Command issued by the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba.

Abdullahi was elected in 2019 under the platform of Peoples Redemption Party (PRP). He later defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and recently joined the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) under which he contested the Bauchi North Senatorial ticket but lost to Senator Lawal Yahaya Gumau.

Recall that on May 16, 2021, Bauchi Emirate Council suspended Abdullahi as the traditional title holder of Wakilin Birnin Bauchi indefinitely.

In a swift reaction then, Abdullahi alleged that Govenor Bala Mohammed was behind his suspension over his refusal to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after he dumped PRP but choose to return to his former party, APC.
