Hamdiyya and her orchestrated disappearance

The screaming titles of some newspapers and online platforms on the “sudden disappearance” invented by Hamdiyya Sidi by some opposition elements have been reported in a way that was intended exclusively to portray the Sokoto government as entirely responsible for its “sudden disappearance” and to mislead the Golli Nigerians to reach the same false conclusion. It is confusing that the newspapers have been based exclusively on Abba Hikima, Hamdiyya Sidi’s lawyer without any effort in the control crossing by his family or by the police forces of Nigeria (NPF) on the authenticity of his statements before hurrying to the press. Having achieved part of their goal, it is not surprising that Hamdiyya Sidi, who was pursued by the police for alleged incitement of the public was “miraculously” found at Bakura General Hospital in the state of Zamfara.

From the area of ​​the local government of Wurro in the state of Sokoto, where it was presumably kidnapped in Bakura in the state of Zamfara, where in the end it was found is about 80 kilometers. There is no doubt that the disappearance invented by Hamdiyya Sidi was staged by one or more of the various interest groups that use it to advance their political interests, in particular the mission declared for the garbage of the government of the state of Sokoto and the intimidation of the Nigeria police who are pursuing it to abandon their constitutional tasks.

Is it interesting that to date there have been no further updates on his so -called kidnapping, on how he arrived in Bakura, his state and the way they knew he was in Bakura? The numerous gaps in its history of disappearance deserve further investigations by the safety agencies so that the managers can be brought to justice. This must be done so that we can have the end of their boring theatricals.

It is also important to emphasize that the disappearance of Hamdiyya has never been reported to the Sokoto State Police Command under whose jurisdiction would have disappeared and that they have the statutory right to declare it disappeared, otherwise people can simply wake up as his lawyer did and report anyone who adapts to their imagination as the cashier.

According to Ahmed Rufai, the official of the Police Public Relations, the command of the state of Sokoto, “we were not aware that the information at my disposal was that Hamdiyya should have appeared in court on May 21, 2025, at the continuation of his trial before a judge court,” he said.

In Nigeria, the standard procedure to declare that someone is missing implies the reporting to the Nigeria police as soon as they are unknown and there are serious concerns about their security. Consequently, the police will open a disappeared relationship and a research will begin, which would include contact with family and friends, as well as the search for hospitals and modern. His lawyer surely understands this fact, but he has not adhered it because he is all part of the high -level of the opposition high level of level to embarrass the governor.

The day Hamdiyya disappeared, his defense was to close their case. His disappearance and over 10 long updates in their application show that the strategy of the Hamdiyya legal team is to delay the process in order to buy time and hope to drag the case into the electoral season so that the opposition can use it strongly against the government of the state of Sokoto.

But why do the defendants oppose the rapid conclusion of his criminal trial which is against the spirit of rapid trial as sanctioned by the administration of the 2019 criminal justice law of the state of Sokoto? Clearly it is not only because they know they have a negative case, but which continues to provide the defeat opposition with more “dramatic materials” to demonize the governor Aliyu, who despite not having any hand in his process continued to be held responsible.

Unfortunately, Hamdiyya, the pawn in the game of politicians, has no say on how his case is conducted, when he had apologized to the people of the State for his actions. The judge has a duty to stop indulging these manufacturers of malice and any other delay tactic that could use to frustrate the process.

So far, the opposition strategy to drag the governor Aliyu into the matter to blackmail him to stop the pursuit of Hamdiyya, a question that falls within the police competence, has failed.

The governor, we must remember, was not the complaint. It was Marafa Yakubu, head of the village of the village of Sabon Birnin Daji in the area of ​​the local government of Wurro. He reported it to the police when he began to encourage women to violence contrary to his declared mission to provide assistance to them. The head of the village was right to have notified the police, an action that helped to avoid breaking the law and order.

The question of Hamdiyya further exposed the worrying concern of constitutional issues as regards the war on terrorism, by some media practitioners; That is to say that the war is exclusively that of the federal government of Nigeria and the limited powers of the government of the state of Sokoto in the war and the responsibilities of the NPF.

For example, Hamdiyya Sidi, just in criticizing the governor Aliyu, who despite being a glorified security officer, gave the security challenges facing his state everything? Didn’t he go wrong his anger against the governor at the end of Tiktok’s video at the end of 2024? So why did Hamdiyya Sidi falsely accused Governor Aliyu who approached and making the safety situation? Is it not because, according to what was reported, was it paid by the opposition to “cause problems” or the possibility of acting in a film based on his “Calvary”? Hamdiyya Sidi was asking a simple question, when he said “if he (the governor) and his family faced the horrible violence that hit countless women throughout the North – women who were violated in unspeakable ways, sometimes in front of their families – would have remained so indifferent”?

For the record, the Aliyu administration has rightly placed the security challenges in addition to its agenda and has continued to download more than what are its constitutional responsibilities towards its citizens. He established a body of the community to mainly collect intelligence for the military, he has strongly invested in the construction of military bases and provided other logistical support for safety agencies such as the supply of buffalo vehicles, all because the victims are citizens of the state of Sokoto. But it is only a subnational government, so there is no coercive power to really follow terrorists.

Is the logical question that there are other initiatives that the governor Aliyu Sokoto should make in his attempt to bring the war to terrorists who operate in his state within his constitutional authority he has not taken? Although it is not the constitutional responsibility of the governor Aliyu build military bases, he built the autonomous interest illuminated in Ilela for the armored body and built access roads to help the safety agencies to respond promptly to attacks.

But the media rather than considering the military responsible, Hamdiyya continue to settle as a critical critic on social media of the governor Aliyu. Is it that the media platforms concerned ignore the facts or who have been enrolled in a political plot to demonize the governor Sokoto?

Following the media of the average of April 2025, according to which the Court of Magistrates of Sokoto had sentenced Hamdiyya to 12 eyelashes, two years of imprisonment or a fine of N50,000; Which were lies from the Fossa della Furno it can be easily concluded that a section of the media is part of the gang. Fortunately, Abba Hikima his lawyer refuted the story.

For the benefit of the media, which for Malizia is considering the governors responsible for the deplorable state of insecurity, it is responsibility for the federal government of Nigeria to guarantee the sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and not of several submissions such as the treatment of Sokoto who have been forced to play the role because it is their people who have been robbed, subject to other forms of formation.

If only those who behind the Hamdiyya band understand that while the continuous demonization of the governor could have a certain impact beyond the coasts of the state, but that the people of the Sokoto State who has suffered for eight years abandoned under the administration of Tambuwal’s administration is not disturbed by the false relationships in the media on the problem, due to its impressive performance. Once again, I am fully aware of the fact that the governor Aliyu being a man of peace has no hand in Hamdiyya’s travails and that deeply religious people find his reports against the governor and his incitement of women to forcefully take on government properties in the local government of Wamakko in the Sokoto area.

He agreed on the fact that Hamdiyya has the right to speak, but certainly went beyond the board of directors in wishing the governor and his family. Hamdiyya Sidi is an adult who can be tried for trying to violate public peace. It is a pity that he suddenly found himself faced with the reality of being condemned despite insurance from his sponsors who will not be pursued by the police.

The harmful attack, the Calumny campaign, the disinformation and propaganda against the governor Aliyu and his family would not have diminished due to the incorrect belief of the opposition that this would help in the defeat of the governor Aliyu in the general elections of 2027.
