The Kwankwasiyya Movement in Kano has called on the Department of State Services to investigate what it describes as a coordinated online harassment campaign against its leaders.
In a petition dated April 9, 2026, the group stated that its top members are being targeted with cyberbullying and false allegations intended to damage their reputations and weaken the movement.
The petition named some of those affected, including Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo and Muhammad Samir Hanga, alongside other loyal members.
It alleged that many of the attacks are being carried out on social media, particularly Facebook, where posts are said to be aimed at discrediting them.
The movement also levelled serious allegations against certain individuals it claims are linked to the Kano State Government.
It specifically mentioned the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, as well as other unnamed officials.
The petition accused these individuals of using social media to conduct what the group described as a campaign of character assassination.
