The Police have moved in to prevent a full blown crisis in Bauchi State over alleged blasphemy.

Crisis had erupted in Warji Local Government Area of the state after some youths reportedly launched a manhunt for Rhoda Jatau, a lady who allegedly committed blasphemy.

An eyewitness said angry youths who were in search of Jatau invaded Katanga, Headquarters of Warji local government area, on Friday.

Some residents were said to have whisked Jatau to safety, which angered the youths, leading to the destruction of some properties, including 11 building which were set ablaze.

Religious clerics in the area told journalists that they were working hard to calm the youths.
