Jigawa Women Rally Behind DSS Over Controversial Walida Abdulhadi Case!
Reported by Musa Antiketu (Journalist) | Sele Media
AfricaHundreds of women in northern Nigeria’s Jigawa State staged a solidarity march in support of the Department of State Services (DSS), expressing confidence in the agency’s handling of the widely discussed case involving Walida Abdulhadi.The demonstration, held in parts of Jigawa, drew participants from various women’s associations and community groups who carried placards and chanted slogans backing the DSS. The protesters said the march was aimed at countering what they described as misinformation circulating about the agency’s alleged involvement in the circumstances surrounding Abdulhadi’s reported abduction.The case has attracted significant public attention after claims emerged that Abdulhadi was abducted by an operative linked to the DSS. The allegations sparked debate across social media and within civil society circles, prompting calls for transparency and accountability from security institutions.However, organizers of the solidarity march said the demonstration was intended to reinforce public trust in Nigeria’s intelligence and security structures. According to participants, the DSS should be allowed to conduct investigations without undue pressure or speculation.“We believe the DSS is a professional institution capable of investigating the matter thoroughly,” one of the protest leaders said during the rally. “Our aim is to support lawful institutions and encourage due process.”Local authorities maintained a visible presence during the demonstration to ensure order, while the march proceeded peacefully through designated routes.The DSS has not publicly disclosed extensive details about the case but has previously indicated that it remains committed to upholding the rule of law while addressing security concerns.Analysts say the development reflects growing public engagement around accountability within Nigeria’s security sector, especially when allegations involve state institutions. Civil society groups have meanwhile continued to call for clarity on the circumstances surrounding Abdulhadi’s disappearance and the role of any individuals connected to the security services.As the situation evolves, observers note that transparency in the investigation will be crucial in maintaining public trust and ensuring justice for all parties involved.
