Biu Should Have Been Sacked Since Abacha’s Era — Dangiwa Umar


Leadership
20 January 2012


Following the escape of the suspected mastermind of the Madalla church bombing that took place on Christmas day; in the hands of Police Commissioner Zakari Biu, a former Military Governor of Kaduna State, Col. Abubakar Dangiwa Umar (rtd) said the commissioner ought to have been sacked immediately after the Abacha era.

Umar, who specifically noted Biu’s penchant for flouting the human rights of Nigerians with impunity, lamented that it was worrisome that the Boko Haram suspect escaped from his custody.

Although a N50 million reward was placed on the head of the escapee, Kabiru Sokoto, the event however signalled an imminent shake-up in the Nigeria police.

Unconfirmed sources said yesterday that Sokoto, who was declared wanted by the police, had been re-arrested.
