A viral claim has spread across Nigeria alleging that Sirajo Ahmad Dan Liman — widely described on social media as the “vice president of the Imam of Sokoto” — is responsible for supplying Bajaj motorcycles to bandits operating in Sokoto and neighbouring regions.
But how much of this is true, verified, or officially confirmed?
Here’s a breakdown of what has been reported and what the authorities have actually said.
Recent online reports claimed that Sirajo Ahmad was arrested for:
Supplying Bajaj motorbikes and other essentials to bandits.
criminal groups along the Sokoto–Niger Republic border.
Allegedly having ₦47 million in his bank account believed to be proceeds from illegal dealings.
These claims fueled widespread debate, with many Nigerians demanding clarity from security agencies.
The Sokoto State Police Command quickly responded to the reports, denying key details:
They stated emphatically that the suspect is NOT a cleric and holds no religious title, contradicting claims that he is a deputy Imam.
They also denied the allegation that ₦47 million was found in his account.
No official statement has confirmed that he supplied Bajaj motorcycles to bandits.
At the moment, the accusations remain unproven and under investigation, with no court-verified evidence released to the public.
