Following sustained pressure on the Kaduna State Government, Governor Uba Sani has reportedly secured the release of one of his fiercest critics, Mr. Zamani Musa, popularly known as Dangatta.

SaharaReporters had earlier reported that Dangatta was arrested on June 10, 2026, and had remained in detention since then.

Sources at the Government House Kaduna and Kaduna Correctional Centre, where Dangatta was being held after initially being detained at the Operation Fushin Kada headquarters and later transferred to the Kabala Police Division, confirmed the development to SaharaReporters on Saturday.

According to the source, Dangatta’s release was conditional.
