The Kano Peace Coalition Group (KPCG) has accused the national leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, of recruiting youths who are using social media to destabilize security and cause social unrest in Kano.
KPCG said it has uncovered a report on how Kwankwaso, the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, allegedly manipulated youth groups to create uncertainty and chaos in Kano through posting vulgar and volatile messages on various social media platforms.
The State Coordinator of the Group, Datti Datti Tukur, said in a Statement, Wednesday night, that “the youths who are members of Kwankwasiyya Movement from different platforms of the Social Media, have recently taken on their accounts attacking prominent political figures, including the state Governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, immediate-past National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and anyone who disagrees with Senator Kwankwaso’s self-serving political philosophy.”
The group specifically singled out a case in which the Kwankwasiyya Social Media handlers allegedly denigrated the personality of Governor Yusuf, “depicting him in female attire wearing make-up.”
Datti further added that, “one of the characters involved in these atrocities was Abba Ibrahim Hussain a.k.a Aiha, a notorious cyber stalker allegedly on the payroll of Kwankwaso.
“Available records show that Hussain has been charged in Magistrate Court 47, Zungeru Road, and remanded in Prison on 23 February 2026, for the offences of cyberbullying, Stalking and inciting public disturbances by the DSS, Kano command.”
The Group further cited a case of one Abdulmajid Danbilki Kwamanda, who, it said, was cautioned in the past by security operatives for allegedly being used by Kwankwaso to denigrate and assassinate the character of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, in a bid to create tension in the state.
According to Datti, “despite clear facts against him, Danbilki was neither detained nor harassed by security agencies.”
Datti further stated that reports available to KPCG, “also identified one Samir Sani Hanga, Son of the Senator representing Kano Central, Sani Hanga, who was also accused of cyber bullying and stalking, but cautioned by the security to desist from such criminal behavior in the presence of his father.
“Investigation also uncovered the involvement of one Abdullahi Aminu Warkal, another Kwankwasiyya social media handler who was alleged to have been harassed by the security operatives.
“Report, however, indicated that Warkal was invited by the security agency to explain how he defrauded the government of N10 million.”
The Coordinator appealed to Amnesty International, which was said to have issued a statement alleging harassment of political opponents in Kano, “verify every claim with the spirit of fairness and professionalism before taking a stand to avoid compromising the group’s reputation and credibility.”
“That, as a respected INGO, Amnesty International should not allow itself to be compromised by anybody, including Kwankwaso.
“The need to investigate and verify claims before rushing to the press is sacrosanct and complementary to the efforts of security agencies towards eradicating the menace of cyberbullying and disrespect for constituted authority.
“Kano is a respected State with people of dignity, integrity, and religious consciousness. No one will be happy to see some misguided individuals sponsored to disrespect elders and leaders.
“Amnesty International should look at the issues of cyberbullying, stalking, and incitement that clearly violate the law,” Datti added.
