Kaduna Govt Denies Knowledge Of Dadiyata’s Fate

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

The Kaduna State Government, on Monday, denied any involvement in the sudden disappearance of a critic, Abubakar Idris popularly known as Dadiyata.

Dadiyata, a staunch critic of Governor Nasir El-Rufai , was said to have been abducted from his residence in Kaduna by unknown assailants over a year ago.

Since his abduction, his family has not known his whereabouts, despite several pleas and social media hashtags calling for his release.

Accusing fingers have been directed to the Kaduna State Government led by Governor Nasir el-Rufai, on the social media.

Reacting to the insinuations, the State Commissioner for Justice, Aisha Dikko said it is “vile assertion” to insinuate that the Kaduna State Government is involved in Dadiyata’s disappearance, because he was abducted in Kaduna.

“Kaduna State Ministry of Justice wishes to state emphatically that the Kaduna State Government has no idea of the whereabouts of or any involvement whatsoever in the reported abduction of Abubakar Idris Usman, also known as Dadiyata.

“Anything to the contrary is a vile assertion that seeks to stretch the fact that he was abducted within Kaduna State to mean the involvement of the state government. Every citizen that the state government has reason to suspect has been involved in incitement, injurious falsehood or criminal defamation has been appropriately charged before the courts and afforded due process.

 “The State Government has neither filed any complaint against Mr. Usman with the police nor has it instituted a suit against him before the court, ” she said.
