A Kaduna-based musician and social media influencer, Mycah Dangata, popularly known for spearheading the “Take Over Kaduna” movement, has reportedly been arrested and is currently being held by security operatives in Kaduna State for campaigning against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and demanding the next Kaduna governor from Southern Kaduna.

Dangata, whose real name is Zamani Musa, was reportedly picked up by security agents on Tuesday under circumstances that remain unclear.

As of the time of filing this report, security authorities in the state have not issued an explanation on the reasons for his arrest or the specific allegations against him.
