 Seven Years After, DSS Reopens Investigation Into Dadiyata’s Abduction


The Department of State Services has reopened its investigation into the 2019 disappearance of Abubakar Idris, popularly known as Dadiyata, and is preparing to invite individuals linked to the case for questioning.


Dadiyata, a lecturer at the Federal University Dutsinma, was declared missing on August 1, 2019, after armed men reportedly abducted him from his residence in Kaduna. 


Nearly seven years later, his whereabouts remain unknown.


The renewed probe follows recent public discussions about the case. In a video interview shared by Reno Omokri on X, Dadiyata’s wife, Kadijah, expressed continued concern over her husband’s disappearance and appealed to Nigerians for help in determining whether he is alive.


“We pray that one day he will return,” she said, urging authorities and citizens to assist the family in uncovering the truth.


Kadijah also addressed a controversial 2019 social media post allegedly made by a son of a former Kaduna governor, which she described as hurtful.


She recounted witnessing her husband’s abduction from their home in August 2019.


Omokri called for support for the family and appealed to the Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, to consider measures that could improve their living conditions and welfare.


The case resurfaced after former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, denied involvement in the disappearance, stating that Dadiyata was more critical of the Kano State Government than of Kaduna. 


He maintained that he became aware of Dadiyata only after the abduction was reported to the police.


Responding to the claims, former Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, dismissed any connection to the incident, describing attempts to link him to the case as unfounded.
