Musa Muhammad Kamarawa, a former Senior Special Assistant, SSA, to ex-Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, has alleged that Abubakar Idris, popularly known as Dadiyata, was killed in his presence.
A screengrab containing Kamarawa’s claim, written in Hausa,
is currently circulating on various social media platforms.
Kamarawa had also on Thursday written a petition addressed
to the Inspector General of Police, alleging that certain officers had also
threatened him.
Dadiyata, a Nigerian lecturer and outspoken government
critic, was abducted by gunmen from his home in Kaduna on August 1, 2019, and
remains missing.
His disappearance was heavily linked to his critical social
media commentary, particularly regarding northern state governments.
Imran Wakili, a political commentator, who shared a post
containing the allegation on his X handle, said Kamarawa’s new revelation is a
golden opportunity to finally get to the bottom of the disappearance and
alleged killing of Dadiyata.
According to him, “Such a statement cannot be ignored,
brushed aside, or treated as ordinary political talk. It demands a thorough,
transparent, and independent investigation.”
Similarly, Bakatsine, a counter-insurgency and security
journalist in the northwest of Nigeria, reacted to the allegation.
In a post on X on Friday, Bakatsine called on authorities to
investigate the allegation transparently.
“This is a weighty accusation involving enforced
disappearance and alleged extrajudicial killings. The authorities must
investigate transparently, and those responsible if found guilty must face
justice,” Bakatsine wrote.
Meanwhile, Kamarawa on Thursday
accused two senior police officers, CSP Hussaini Gimba and CSP Hassan Gimba, of
alleged extortion, illegal house search, seizure of property, and conducting
what he described as a “partial investigation” against him.
In a petition addressed to the Inspector General of Police,
IGP, Kamarawa alleged that the officers compelled him to conceal details of his
relationship with the current Minister of State for Defence, Matawalle, during
interrogation sessions.
“In the cause of investigation, I was coarse by them I
shouldn’t make any attempt to disclose my relationship with former Governor of
Zamfara State Dr Bello Matawalle current State Minister of Defence that was the
main reason in all the Vedio clips they recorded on me under duress I have
never disclosed our relationship with him because they treat (sic) to kill me
as they killed Dadiyata and Saminu S/Fada Gusau amongst others in my presence
at Operations Yaki Kaduna but they keep asking my relationship with my uncle
former Governor of Sokoto State Alh Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa who was their
main target as instructed by Matawallen Maradun.
“My concern is that I was the SSA to Matawallen Maradun
during his tenure as a Governor in Zamfara State but why they never allow me to
mention even in my statement which I wrote under duress, hence there’s a need
to investigate the motive behind these. Attached herewith my letter of
Appointment as SSA,” parts of his petition read.
Kamarawa further alleged that the officers repeatedly
questioned him about his relationship with former Sokoto State Governor,
Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa, whom he claimed was their “main target”.
