A prominent Islamic cleric and scholar in Bauchi state, Dr. Idris Abdul’azeez Dutsen Tanshi has been declared wanted by the Bauchi State Police Command for alleged contempt of court.
Recall that an Upper Shari’a Court 1 sitting in Bauchi metropolis had issued a bench warrant against the renowned Islamic cleric “following his refusal to appear before the court to continue his trial in a case of alleged incitement of public disturbance levelled against him.”
This was contained in a special gazette bulletin issued on the orders of the Inspector-General of Police on Thursday, which was distributed to reporters by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Bauchi SP Mohammed Ahmed Wakil.
The bulletin called on the public with information about the whereabouts of the cleric to report to the Bauchi State Police Command or any nearest Police station or call 08151849417, or 09048226246..
“A handsome reward” awaits any person(s) with information leading to Dutsen Tanshi’s arrest”, the bulletin added.
