Musa Ali Dikwa has call on Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, and the Inspector General of Police, to advised the Borno State Commissioner of Police to ensure justice, equity and fairness on alleged planned blackmail against Christians and christianity in Borno state.

In a statement personally signed, and made available to Daybreak Nigeria, Rev Dikwa alleged that Muslim police officers are using their uniforms, guns, and the authority of the Nigeria Police Force to intimidate, harassed, and molest Christians in Borno State.

According to the statement dated 9th May, 2025, one Mrs. Lami Samuel Dawa attempted to give a statement about Hadiza Abdullahi’s alleged drug-pushing business at the Police CID office, but the police officers prevented her from doing so.

The statement reads in parts: “Therefore, we are calling on the Attorney General and Minister of Justice of the Federation, as well as the Inspector General of Police, to draw the attention of the Borno State Commissioner of Police to ensure justice, equity, and fairness in this matter.

“Aisha, a student of Yarwa Government Girls Secondary School in Borno State, met her teacher, Mallam Sani, and confided in him about her discomfort with her mother Hadiza Abdullahi’s alleged involvement in illegal drug business, utilizing some security agencies to transport and sell the drugs in villages.

“Mallam Sani offered help, and Aisha later discussed this with her mother Hadiza. Hadiza Abdullahi then advised Aisha to tell Mallam Sani that she wanted to accept Jesus as her Lord and personal savior.

“After Mallam Sani prayed for her, Aisha claimed her mother was planning to kill her, prompting Sani to send her to Bauchi for safety.

“However, unknown to Mallam Sani, Aisha and her mother Hadiza Abdullahi had allegedly planned this scenario to blackmail him and create tension between Muslims and Christians in the state”, it stated.

It added that “When Aisha arrived in Bauchi and later moved to Jos, the Plateau State capital, for training, she began experiencing health issues upon arriving at the Ismail and Haggar Foundation”.

“The organization’s leaders took her to the hospital, where she was treated for the effects of drugs. After completing her treatment, Aisha continued with her training until she finished the program.

“The school leadership then asked her what she wanted to do next. Aisha expressed her desire to continue her education, and they enrolled her in the Christian Faith Institute. However, Aisha soon began engaging in prostitution, frequently leaving the school premises and staying out overnight.

“The school administration addressed her behavior, warning her that such actions were unacceptable and contrary to the institution’s Christian principles. When Aisha refused to comply, the school suggested she return to her parents.

“Aisha left the school and met a Fulani Muslim convert who had become a born-again Christian. Despite her insistence on staying with him, he refused due to her behavior. With the intervention of some elderly people, Aisha was placed with a family in the hope that she would change her ways.

“But Aisha failed to change her attitude of prostitution, and they asked her to return to her parents. However, when Aisha left the house, she stole some items, including two phones belonging to the family. Aisha falsely claimed that Mrs. Lami Dawa had bought her a phone. Aisha is wanted in Jos.

“Meanwhile, Muslim police officers are allegedly using their uniforms, guns, and the authority of the Nigeria Police Force to intimidate, harass, and molest Christians in Borno State. Mrs. Lami Samuel Dawa attempted to give a statement about Hadiza Abdullahi’s alleged drug-pushing business at the Police CID office, but the police officers prevented her from doing so.

“Therefore, we are calling on the Attorney General and Minister of Justice of the Federation, as well as the Inspector General of Police, to draw the attention of the Borno State Commissioner of Police to ensure justice, equity, and fairness in this matter. 08033497229, 08027141437”, he stated.
