Jigawa women march in support of DSS over Walida Abdulhadi case

Hundreds of women in Jigawa State, Nigeria, demonstrated their support for the Department of State Services in a case concerning Walida Abdulhadi, a woman allegedly abducted by a DSS officer.

In Jigawa State, Nigeria, a large turnout of women convened for a solidarity march in Dutse on Thursday, expressing their support for the Department of State Services (DSS) regarding the controversial case of Walida Abdulhadi. The case emerged after Abdulhadi was reported missing in Hadejia in November 2023, with evidence surfacing that she had been abducted and impregnated by a DSS operative. Following weeks of silence, her father was informed by the accused operative in January 2026 that his daughter had given birth and that he intended to marry her, raising serious concerns about the circumstances of her disappearance and the potential abuse of power.
