A former Zonal Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi South, Mrs. Jamima J. Dutse, has been killed by unknown assailants at her residence in Bauchi State. According to reports, Dutse was attacked at her home before the assailants fled the area. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with many calling for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.

The Take-It-Back (TIB) Movement, Bauchi State chapter, has condemned the killing, describing it as a "senseless" act of violence and an attack on the peace and security of the state. In a statement issued on Sunday, TIB expressed condolences to Dutse's family, friends, and associates, while calling on security agencies to urgently investigate the incident.

TIB's Bauchi State Coordinator, Nazif Bashi, signed the statement, which urged the Bauchi State Police Command, the Department of State Services (DSS), and other relevant security agencies to identify and arrest those responsible for the killing. The group also demanded transparent communication from the security agencies, including regular updates to the victim's family and the public on the progress of the investigation.

The group emphasized that justice must not only be done but also seen to be done, insisting that those responsible for the murder must be prosecuted and made to face the full wrath of the law. TIB further called on the Bauchi State Government and security authorities to strengthen security measures, surveillance, and intelligence gathering across Bauchi metropolis and neighboring local government areas.

The killing of Dutse has raised concerns about the security situation in Bauchi State, with many calling for increased measures to protect citizens. The incident is the latest in a series of violent attacks in the state, which have left many dead or injured.

The Bauchi State Police Command has yet to comment on the incident, but security agencies are expected to launch an investigation into the killing. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with many demanding action from the authorities to bring those responsible to justice.

The incident serves as a reminder of the need for increased security measures in Bauchi State, particularly in the wake of rising violence in the region. The authorities have been urged to take concrete steps to address the security concerns of citizens and prevent similar incidents in the future.
