During the Buhari era, a colleague posted his support for Sowore’s Revolution Now on Facebook and suddenly disappeared. The DSS had abducted him and taken him to their office in Kaduna. His name is Ibrahim Dan Halilu. He spent four to five days in ko custody, his friends here and there interfered, people on social media asked for his release. He was finally released. This is someone I know one on one, someone I saw then whenever he was in Abuja. As Femi Kuti said, one of the biggest kidnappers are the police, DSS, and other security agencies.
Dadiatta was probably kidnapped to show him a lesson. A vindictive fellow like Ganduje issuing that lame press release after El-Rufai accused him of ordering the abduction of Dadiatta is capable of such.
Let me tell you what I think happened. They probably abducted Dadiatta and whisked him off. I don’t know the guy, but if he is a stubborn guy, he would want to argue with them or maybe struggle. These guys are so arrogant when they collect small change from politicians and know that more favours would be coming, they can do wherever. An overzealous police may have hit him with the butt of his pistol in the head and the guy simply collapsed. Just like they did to the singer Mohbad. After Mohbad died, his lady friend told a story of how the NDLEA people who came to arrest his friend in Naira Marley’s house hit Mohbad repeatedly on the head with their gun as he jumped into the brawl. Since that incident Mohbad was never the same again.
Dadiatta may have slumped. They panicked that he was deceased and probably rushed to bury him. They may have even buried him alive. This is murder. First degree murder. The lead is now clear. The list of the policemen who were transfered to Ibadan that period from Kano should be checked. Maybe Nasir El-Rufai who had mocked Dadiatta in his post knows more than he has revealed. The law enforcement agents, the police, must be forced to investigate the murder of Dadiatta.
