Others changed their profile photos to Dadiyatas picture to raise awareness about his disappearance.In a shocking revelation, Adekunle announced on Tuesday, June 10, via her Facebook page that her investigation had confirmed Dadiyatas death.It is with a heavy heart that I announce that after thorough investigations, I can confirm that Idris Abubakar, popularly known as Dadiyata, is officially dead. #Dadiyata was killed, she stated.This announcement comes one month after Adekunle launched a N10 million investigation fund on May 4, 2025, seeking fact-based information on Dadiyatas disappearance.<img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/Screenshot_20250612_094330_Facebook_1749719155.jpg">Since Dadiyata's abduction on August 2, 2019, his family and supporters have been seeking answers.Amnesty International Nigeria got involved and has been calling for answers, with the organisation questioning the Nigerian governments handling of the case.His mother had been seeking justice for her son before she passed away in 2022.Nigerians have gone on X and Facebook to pay tribute to him following the claims made by Adekunle.<img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/Screenshot_20250612_095852_X_1749719091.jpg"><img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/Screenshot_20250612_095830_X_1749719091.jpg">The post <a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2025/6/dadiyata-is-officially-de-at-d-he-was-klled-investigator-claims-6-years-after-disappearance-of-popular-social-media-influencer-2.html">Dadiyata is officially de@d.
