A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lafia Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, Mallam Dadda'u Mamuda, has been remanded in the custody of the Nigeria Correctional Service over an alleged death threat directed at police officers.
Mamuda was remanded in prison custody by the Federal High Court sitting in Lafia following his arraignment by the police on a two-count charge on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. The court, presided over by Justice M.O. Olajuwon, adjourned the matter to Wednesday, June 10, 2026, for a hearing on his bail application.
According to the police, Mamuda had recently threatened to kill any police officer involved in the arrest of supporters of his preferred gubernatorial aspirant and former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, over any political dispute. The APC stakeholder issued the threat during a political gathering in Lafia.
The development has sparked reactions from various quarters, with many calling for a thorough investigation to ensure that such threats do not undermine the rule of law or the safety of law enforcement officers. The case is expected to attract significant attention as it unfolds in the coming weeks.
