DSS reopens Dadiyata disappearance probe, examines alleged links to El-Rufai as passport seizure fuels fresh controversy.
The Department of State Services (DSS) has reopened investigations into the 2019 disappearance of Abubakar Idris, popularly known as Dadiyata, a vocal government critic who vanished from his Kaduna home on August 1, 2019.
According to a senior security source, the renewed probe has widened to examine alleged links between former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El’Rufai, and his sons.
The source disclosed that the seizure of El’Rufai’s passport at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, last Thursday was a strategic move to prevent him from returning to Cairo after a brief visit to Nigeria.
Investigators believe he was aware of the ongoing probe and had planned meetings with the EFCC and ICPC before departing again.
The passport action, the source said, disrupted that plan.
“Months of discreet investigations reportedly prompted the cold case review. Authorities are examining fresh leads suggesting possible involvement by key actors during the period of Dadiyata’s abduction.
The lecturer at the Federal University Dutsinma remains missing more than six years later, despite international attention and pressure from human rights organisations.
