The Bauchi State Police Command is investigating the unfortunate death of Polmi Dauda, a 20-year-old security guard, in what is being treated as a potential case of culpable homicide.
A Bauchi State Police Command Press statement issued by the Police Spokesman Ahmed Muhammad Wakil on behalf of the Commissioner of Police Bauchi State Command says,
On March 22, 2025, at about 12:50 PM, the victim’s brother, Mr Danda Dauda, reported to the Bauchi Metro Area Command. This case was subsequently referred to the E Divisional Police Headquarters Yelwa for a thorough investigation. Mr Dauda reported that Polmi had sustained serious injuries due to an altercation with several individuals at a location adjacent to Larema Hotel, where he worked. Despite the swift response of medical personnel at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH), Polmi was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at the facility.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the altercation may have stemmed from an allegation of theft involving clothing and personal items belonging to a tenant. The individuals involved—identified as Ibrahim Yahaya, a pharmacist at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital Bauchi (ATBUTH); Musa Awwal, a medical doctor at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital Bauchi;(ATBUTH) Imrana Ibrahim, a local businessman; and Zakariya’u Isah, another security guard—are believed to have conspired to confront Polmi, leading to the regrettable outcome.
In light of this incident, the police have taken the suspects into custody and are providing critical information to assist in the ongoing investigation. The deceased’s body has been deposited postmortem examination at the ATBUTH mortuary.
The Commissioner of Police has directed the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) to comprehensively analyse the case, ensuring that all aspects are thoroughly examined. The Commissioner has firmly committed to achieving justice and urges the public to remain calm and uphold lawful conduct during this investigative process.
