A Nigerian Human Rights & Anti-Corruption Activist, Comrade Umar Ibrahim Umar, has called on president Bola Tinubu to urgently investigate the abduction of Abubakar Idris popularly known as Dadiyata.

Umar in an open letter to the president implore him to use his good office to seek Dadiyata out.

The letter read thus:

Dear President Tinubu,

I write to bring your attention to the disturbing abduction of Abubakar Idris, popularly known as Dadiyata, a prominent social media critic and activist, on August 2, 2019, in Kaduna. His disappearance has left his family, friends, and the nation in a state of anguish and uncertainty.

Mr. President, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, I implore you to use your good office to:

1. Order an immediate and thorough investigation into Dadiyata’s abduction.
2. Ensure the deployment of all necessary resources to locate his whereabouts and rescue him.
3. Bring those responsible for his abduction to justice.

Dadiyata’s abduction is a clear attempt to silence critical voices and undermine our democracy. Your prompt action will demonstrate your administration’s commitment to protecting human rights, freedom of speech, and the rule of law.

I urge you to treat this matter with the urgency it deserves. The nation awaits your swift response.

Thank you for your attention to this pressing matter.

Sincerely,

umar41565@gmail.com

I urge all citizens, media outlets, and social media platforms to share this letter widely and demand answers from the President.
