Jamima J. Dutse, the former Zonal Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi South, was tragically murdered by unknown assailants at her home in Bauchi State. The attack occurred recently, leaving the community in shock and mourning.

Details surrounding the incident remain unclear, but reports indicate that Dutse was assaulted at her residence before the attackers fled the scene. The brutal killing has drawn significant condemnation from various groups, including the Take-It-Back (TIB) Movement, which described the act as a "senseless" act of violence that threatens the peace and security of the state.

In a statement issued by Nazif Bashi, the Bauchi State Coordinator for TIB, the movement expressed deep condolences to Dutse's family, friends, and associates. They called for immediate action from security agencies to investigate the circumstances of her death thoroughly. TIB emphasized the need for the Bauchi State Police Command and the Department of State Services (DSS) to work diligently in identifying and apprehending those responsible for this heinous crime.

The movement further urged security agencies to maintain transparent communication with the victim's family and the public regarding the progress of the investigation. They stated, "Justice must not only be done; it must be seen to be done," highlighting the importance of accountability in the face of such violence.

In addition to calls for justice, TIB has urged the Bauchi State Government and relevant security authorities to enhance security measures, improve surveillance, and bolster intelligence gathering throughout Bauchi metropolis and its neighboring local government areas. The community is looking for reassurance that measures will be taken to prevent further acts of violence and ensure the safety of its residents.

The murder of Jamima J. Dutse has raised serious concerns about security in the region, prompting calls for a renewed focus on protecting citizens and maintaining peace in the state. As the investigation unfolds, many are hopeful that those responsible will be brought to justice swiftly, restoring a sense of safety and security to the community.
