Kwankwaso described the renewed investigation as a positive step toward uncovering the truth surrounding the disappearance. He urged security agencies to carry out a transparent and thorough investigation capable of providing answers to Dadiyata’s family, supporters and Nigerians demanding accountability.

The former governor also stressed the importance of protecting citizens’ rights and ensuring that cases involving enforced disappearances and insecurity are treated with seriousness by relevant authorities.
