A critic of Ahmed Aliyu, the Sokoto State Governor, Hamdiyyah Sharif has been declared missing, The iNews Times reports.
Her Lawyer, Abba Hikima made this disclosure on Wednesday via a post on his official Facebook handle.
“Hamdiyya has been missing since 10:00 am yesterday (Tuesday).
“She left home to buy food stuff in Sokoto and has not been seen since,” Hikima wrote.
