Bauchi police record 73 cases of SGBV in 2024

The Bauchi State Police Command has revealed that it recorded 73 suspected cases of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in 2024.

The Commissioner of Police, Auwal Mohammed, disclosed this during a media briefing at the command’s headquarters, where he reviewed the command’s activities in 2024.
