US EditionDadiyata: NNPP Asks Gov Yusuf to Investigate El-Rufai’s Allegation Against Ganduje
Ganduje’s spokesperson called El-Rufai’s claim reckless, urging evidence-based inquiry and warning against politicizing Dadiyata’s unresolved 2019 disappearance.
- Abdullahi Umar Ganduje rejected Nasir El‑Rufai's allegation linking him to Abubakar Idris's disappearance, with Comrade Muhammad Garba calling the claim reckless and an attempt to shift Kaduna State's responsibility.
- El-Rufai said earlier investigations found the abductors came from Kano, and Dadiyata was mainly a critic of Kano State and Ganduje.
- He noted that Comrade Muhammad Garba questioned an alleged police officer confession reportedly sent from Kano and asked why such information was not formally disclosed to investigators.
- The NNPP urged Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to open an investigation, warning that delays could suggest politics is placed above justice, according to Saturday's statement.
- He warned that politicising Ganduje’s case without proof risks further confusion, calling for careful scrutiny of El‑Rufai's recent remarks, as Garba noted discourse centered on Kaduna State.

Did El-Rufai And Ganduje Collaborate To Disappear Dadiyata?
By Farooq Kperogi Now that Abdullahi Ganduje has issued a (tepid) denial of Nasir El-Rufai’s televised allegation of his complicity in Abubakar “Dadiyata” Idris’ unexplained disappearance, I have a few thoughts to share.
