Five years ago, as he prepared to go to the mosque for Salatul Jumu’ah, Nasir el-Rufai’s government is suspected of having body-snatched this young man, Idris Abubakar, popularly known as Dadiyata, from his home in Kaduna, on Friday, August 2, 2019.

Dsdiyata was a fierce critic of the murderous el-Rufai government, and the Butcher of Kaduna was uncomfortable with the truth he had consistently exposed about his government.

For five years, nobody has seen Dadiyata dead or alive. His young daughter has been denied fatherly love. His wife, Khadija, has been traumatised for five years.

And today, Nasir el-Rufai wants to transform from the destroyer of Southern Kaduna lives and abductor of his critics, to a human rights activist?

In the history of brutality in Nigeria, only Sani Abacha’s government killed or disappeared his critics at a faster rate than el-Rufai did to his critics.

So, before you listen to his Taqiyya about his fight for democracy and good governance, which is really a fight against President Tinubu for not making him a minister, ask him to prove it by producing Dadiyata who his government is suspected to have disappeared.

Five years is too much. Tell el-Rufai to produce Dadiyata!
