Former senator for Kaduna Central, Senator Shehu Sani has urged President Bola Tinubu to launch a full-scale investigation into the disappearance of a Kaduna-based social media critic, Abubakar Idris popularly known as Dadiyata.
Sani made the call in a Sunday tweet titled, “It’s now four years.”
It is believed that Dadiyata was abducted by heavily armed men at about midnight while driving into his residence at Barnawa in Kaduna state on August 2, 2019.
Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) were alleged to have whisked the government critic to an undisclosed location but the secret police vehemently denied the allegation.
Many activists and civil society groups have continued to demand Dadiyata’s whereabouts, calling on the Kaduna state and Federal governments to investigate the enforced disappearance.
Weighing in, Sani tweeted, “I wish to call on the FG under President Tinubu to open a full scale investigation on the abduction of this young man, Mal Abubakar Idris popularly known as Dadiyata.
“Before his forceful abduction and disappearance from his home in Kaduna, Dadiyata was a known youth social media critic.
“For four years, the Kaduna State Government and the Kaduna State House of Assembly refused to acknowledge or discuss his matter.
“For four years, all the elected federal legislators from Kaduna state cowardly refused to raise his issue on the floor of the senate and House of Representatives.
“For four years, all the security agencies failed to disclose what happened to him or his whereabouts.
“Justice must be done.”
