Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has ordered an immediate investigation into an alleged assault case involving Rabi Hamza Danladi Nasidi, following widespread public concern generated by a social media video in which the victim appealed for the governor’s intervention.
The development was confirmed in a press release issued on Sunday by Abubakar Tijjani Ibrahim, the Special Assistant on Media to the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Kano State.
The statement outlined the circumstances surrounding the case and the government’s response.
According to the release, Rabi Hamza Danladi Nasidi was allegedly attacked at her residence by one Kabiru Aminu, resulting in injuries that left her in a fragile condition.
Although the suspect was initially remanded by Magistrate Court No. 36 until January 20, 2026, the victim later discovered that he had been released—an action that triggered significant public outrage and questions about possible irregularities in the handling of the case.
The viral video, in which the victim appealed directly to Governor Yusuf for justice, brought renewed attention to the matter.
The governor, described as deeply concerned by both the severity of the allegations and the circumstances of the suspect’s release, immediately directed the Attorney General, Abdulkarim Kabiru Maude, SAN, to conduct a thorough investigation.
The Attorney General has since assured the governor that all necessary legal steps will be taken and that anyone found complicit—whether in the alleged assault or in any procedural lapses—will be held accountable in line with the law.
The statement reaffirmed the Kano State Government’s commitment to protecting citizens’ rights, strengthening public trust in the justice system, and ensuring that cases of this nature are handled transparently and without prejudice.
