Former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has welcomed the renewed investigation into the disappearance of social media activist, Abubakar Idris, popularly known as Dadiyata.
Kwankwaso described the move by the Nigeria Police as a positive step toward uncovering the truth surrounding the activist’s disappearance, which has remained unresolved since 2019.
Senator Kwankwaso also called for justice for Dadiyata and his family, stressing the need for a transparent and thorough probe into the matter. He further urged security authorities to ensure that individuals linked to the allegations do not interfere with the investigation process.
The renewed attention on the case followed reports that the Inspector-General of Police had directed the Police Monitoring Unit to investigate fresh allegations connected to Dadiyata’s disappearance.
Dadiyata, a lecturer and outspoken social commentator, was abducted in Kaduna in August 2019 by unknown gunmen and has not been seen since then. His disappearance has continued to attract national concern and demands for accountability from civil society groups and political supporters.
