Bauchi State governor Bala Mohammed says those five cops who got killed in Darazo were caught up in farmer-herder drama and not some bandit ambush like everyone keeps saying. The governor told his council that the whole thing went down in Sabon Sara village when officers tried breaking up a communal beef between locals and herders, then things got lethal.
Police rep Ahmed Wakil said unidentified youth attacked the officers during the intervention. Mohammed backed that version and promised they would track down whoever did it. The governor also explained why schools got shut down temporarily across Bauchi by pointing to intelligence warnings about potential attacks, especially after what happened at other northern schools recently. He mentioned the state is chasing foreign loans to pump money into infrastructure and development projects.
