Kwankwaso Welcomes Decision To Investigate Abubakar Daiyata’s Disappearance, Urges Police To Place Top Govt Official, Others Under Close Surveillance

Former governor of Kano State, Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso on Saturday described the decision taken by the Nigeria Police Force to investigate the disappearance of Mr Abubakar Idris as a welcome development.

Recall that a lecturer and government critic, Mr Abubakar Idris, who is popularly called Dadiyata, was abducted by gunmen from his home in Kaduna on August 1, 2019, and his whereabouts had since then become unknown.

Attention returned to the matter a few days ago, when Musa Muhammad Kamarawa, who was Dr Bello Matawalle’s Senior Special Assistant, alleged that Abubakar Idris was killed in his presence.

Dr Bello Matawalle a former governor of Zamfara State is currently serving as Minister of State for Defence.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who commented on the issue in a social media post on Saturday, did not specifically mention Dr Bello Matawalle’s name but however urged the police authorities ‘to place the named individuals under close surveillance to prevent any interference with the process’.

‘I have been made aware of the recent testimony by a former aide to a former state governor, in which he alleged that police officers claimed responsibility for the disappearance of Abubakar Idris Dadiyata in Kaduna.

Since his abduction in 2019, my associates and I have consistently prayed and advocated for the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and bring those responsible for his disappearance to justice.

It is therefore reassuring that the Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has ordered a comprehensive investigation into this matter. I commend the Inspector General for this decisive and long-overdue action.

While we await the outcome of the investigation, I urge the police authorities to place the named individuals under close surveillance to prevent any interference with the process.

I also call on the government to ensure that, upon conclusion of the case, Abubakar Dadiyata (if still alive) and his family receive adequate compensation for the immense trauma and suffering they have endured.

I equally commend the general public for their sustained advocacy and resilience in keeping this case alive, as well as Barrister Abba Hikima Fagge for his pivotal role in this latest development.

We remain hopeful that this investigation will finally deliver truth and justice. – RMK’ he submitted-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
