The House of Representatives on Tuesday called on the Federal Government to immediately arrest and prosecute the armed men who ambushed and killed five police officers in Sabon Sara community, Darazo Ganjuwa Federal Constituency of Bauchi State.
The lawmakers gave the directive following a motion moved by the lawmaker representing the area, Mansur Soro, over the attack which occurred on Saturday, November 29, 2025, during a security operation.
The slain officers were identified as DSP Ahmad Muhammad, ASP Mustapha Muhammad, Inspector Amarhel Yunusa, Inspector Idris Ahmed and Corporal Isah Muazu. Two other officers, Inspector Isah Musa and Inspector Yusuf Gambo, sustained serious injuries and are currently receiving treatment.
Soro informed the House that credible intelligence linked the attack to an armed group resisting the arrest of a dethroned hamlet head of Sabon Sara village, whose activities continue to pose a threat to peace and stability in the area.
He commended Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, for his prompt response to the incident and for sustaining relative peace in the state over the last six years.
The lawmaker warned that the families of the slain officers now face severe emotional and economic hardship and stressed that institutional support for officers killed or injured in the line of duty is vital for sustaining police morale.
Adopting the motion through a voice vote, the House urged the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, the Police Trust Fund and the North East Development Commission to provide immediate welfare support and financial relief for the affected families.
Lawmakers also directed the Inspector General of Police to fast track the payment of statutory benefits and ensure full medical care for the injured officers, while mandating the Committee on National Security and Police Affairs to monitor compliance.
