Senator Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker and social critic, claims that under previous Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, he would have been kidnapped and declared missing, exactly like Abubakar Dadiyata.
Sani said in a message on his verified Twitter account on Friday that God saved his life during the Elrufai regime, which lasted from 2015 to 2023.
“I would have been another Dadiyata; this is how The Almighty saved my life from 2015 to 2023 under the Government of Mr Elrufai,” he wrote.
Dadiyata, a journalist, was reported missing on August 2, 2019.
He went missing after unidentified individuals kidnapped him from his home in Kaduna State’s Barnawa neighborhood.
Dadiyata was also well-known for his criticism of the ruling political party, the APC.
