CSP Usman Maibindiga, Uba Sani, and Operation Fushin Kada: Community Policing or Political Thuggery?

In the complex security landscape of Kaduna State, one name has recently surged from the shadows to the headlines: CSP Usman Maibindiga. Recently decorated by Senator Uba Sani following his promotion to Chief Superintendent, Maibindiga was appointed as the Officer in Charge of Operation Fushin Kada, a specialized joint security outfit tasked with tackling banditry and kidnapping. However, beneath the official narrative of crime fighting lies a darker, more partisan accusation. While the Governor praises him for restoring peace, opposition voices and civil rights advocates are painting a different picture, that of a high ranking officer serving as a political enforcer for the APC led government.

While the Fushin Kada unit appears highly efficient at tracking down political dissidents, the statistics for actual violent crime in Kaduna tell a devastating story. Despite the fanfare surrounding Maibindiga’s promotion, kidnapping and killings have reportedly surged across rural Kaduna. In early 2026 alone, over 50 people were kidnapped and several killed in a single weekend across Kajuru and Chikun LGAs. Critics argue there is a discrepancy between the unit’s stated mandate and its operational focus. While bandits reportedly move freely in the forests of Birnin Gwari, the resources of Fushin Kada are alleged to be redirected toward urban centers to monitor and neutralize the influence of the People’s Democratic Party and the African Democratic Congress.

Critics further point to what they describe as a disturbing lack of professional procedure in Maibindiga’s operations. In standard policing, suspects are invited for questioning; under his leadership, they claim individuals are often seized without prior summons. Multiple reports suggest that opposition members are taken from their homes or offices without formal invitations, a tactic critics compare to the very criminal elements the unit was created to combat. Allegations have also surfaced regarding the unit’s role in local bye elections, including claims that PDP candidates and agents were arrested and detained by Fushin Kada operatives just hours before polls opened, thereby influencing electoral outcomes.

Observers also reference Maibindiga’s professional association with suspended DCP Abba Kyari, who was indicted over alleged ties to international fraud and drug trafficking. Critics argue that this connection reflects a style of policing that prioritizes high profile optics and loyalty to political superiors over strict adherence to due process and impartial law enforcement. They contend that if such a blueprint is being followed, Kaduna risks witnessing not the strengthening of security institutions, but the politicization of a specialized security outfit.

The alleged involvement of a security unit in partisan activities, if substantiated, would raise significant concerns about democratic governance and human rights. Advocacy groups have called for closer scrutiny by international observers, including Amnesty International, the United Nations, and the United States and United Kingdom High Commissions. Some advocates are urging that Maibindiga be treated as a person of interest in matters relating to democratic interference, with calls for potential travel restrictions or sanctions against any officers found to have used state resources to suppress political freedoms.

Ultimately, residents of Kaduna deserve a police force that focuses on combating crime rather than being perceived as targeting critics. The legitimacy of ongoing security reforms depends on transparency, professionalism, and impartiality. It is being argued that the Inspector General of Police and the Police Service Commission should thoroughly investigate these allegations of politically motivated arrests to ensure that Operation Fushin Kada fulfills its stated mandate of protecting citizens rather than undermining public trust.

El-Rufai, Kaduna APC stakeholders move to halt defection.

Stakeholders and chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, on Tuesday, set up a high-powered committee to reconcile aggrieved party members and halt the gale of defection in Kaduna State.

Led by Governor Nasir El-Rufai, the team comprises the State Working Committee, chairmen of various local government areas, elected representatives, elders and members of the State Executive Council.

The development was coming five days after the APC National Vice Chairman (North-West) Malam Salihu Lukman, announced that efforts were ongoing to reconcile aggrieved party members and stop the gale of defection reported in Kaduna and Kebbi states.

Lukman disclosed that stakeholders and party leaders of the North-West-had met to review and take a decision to douse the rising tension at the zonal level.

Those who dumped the ruling party on Thursday included Mallam Audu Bode, Shuabu Ahmed, Habila Latu, Boniface Ubandoma, Mr. Yakubu Simon, Jashua Peter, Camio Bitrus and Patrick Paul (Pato), Others were Samuel Wyah, Zaka Makoshi, Jonathan Fedelix, Barnabas Samuel (Barry), Shua’ibu Yusuf, Alexander Danladi (Lulu), Samuel Ibrahim.

The APC Legal Adviser in Jema’a Local Government Area, Ibrahim Samuel, in a letter addressed to his Ward Chairman, said, “His decision to dump the party was based on the internal crises of the party, lack of internal democracy and total disrespect.”
Another statement jointly signed by Barnabas Samuel and Ibrahim Samuel (Oganto) lamented that the names that emanated during the last party congress were entirely different from the ones brought to be used for the primary.

In Kebbi, hundreds of the APC members also dumped the party for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party on Thursday in the Argungu local government area of the state.

Train attack: Terrorists release three more hostages.

After 121 days in captivity, terrorists that abducted passengers of the Abuja-Kaduna train on March 28, have released another three victims in their custody.

This was coming barely 24 hours after the terrorists released a fresh video where they threatened to abduct the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari(retd), the Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, senators, and other government officials, and make them sit on the grass (forest) the way those taken hostages were currently seated.

It was reported that the terrorists had early June, released 11 out of the 61 victims of the abducted train passengers remaining 50 hostages, and with the release of another seven early July, 43 of the captives were still in the terrorists’ den.

Mallam Tukur Mamu, one of the negotiators and Media Consultant to controversial Islamic Cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, who disclosed this, said through his singular efforts on Sunday, that the released hostages were reunited with their families late Saturday evening.

The seven hostages reunited with their families are Bosede Olurotimi, Abubakar Zubairu, Alhassan Sule and Sadiq Ango Abdullahi, Muhammad Daiyabu P**i, Aliyu Usman as well as only foreign national of P**istani origin, Dr. Muhammad Abuzar Afzal.

However, we gathered that on Monday, at about 11 am, the terror group believed to be part of the Islamic State’s West Africa Province, released the three victims, which included two males and a female.

The families of the three released victims were silent on whether a ransom was paid or not before they were set free by the terrorists after spending 121 days in captivity.But a security source confided in one of our correspondents in Kaduna on Monday that the released victims’ families paid N100m each for the release of their loved ones.

“What I can tell you now is that the bandits have freed three victims of the abducted passengers. Those three released by them (bandits) include two males and a female. Each of those released paid N100m,” he said.

With the release of the third batch of three victims, whose identities have not been declared, 40 victims are still in the custody of the terrorists, having earlier set free 18 victims.

It was reported that on March 28, 2022, terrorists planted explosives devices along the rail track and when the Abuja-Kaduna bound AK-9 passenger train approached the point, the device exploded, causing the train to derail, leading to the death of eight passengers.

Family members of the remaining kidnapped Abuja-Kaduna Train passengers protest at the headquarters of the Federal Ministry of Transportation in Abuja, on Monday.
