Dr. Shinkafi, a former Governorship Candidate in Zamfara State and APC Chieftain, has authorized Dexter Law Firm to write the Inspector General of Police and Director General Department of State Services (DSS) following alleged persistent malicious publications against former Governor of Zamfara State, Senator Abdulaziz Yari by one Jackson Ude, using Point Blank,
Tracknews NG and Akelicious online platforms.
The patriots are alleging Cyber Bullying, and Defamation of Character Against Senator Abdulaziz Yari, and demands investigation of Jackson Ude, as they urged the DSS to invoke the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) (Amendment) Act 2024, to investigate the sources of these claims.
They demanded that Jackson Ude and the publishers of Tracknews NG and Akelicious be invited to provide proof of their allegations, for it is unfathomable to people of good conscience that a person who has participated in building goodwill and good character will now be part of its destruction.

The statement further revealed that, “It could be recalled on the 18th of April, 2026, ‘Tracknew NG’ through it’s online website made similar false statements and allegations against”Senator Abdulaziz Yari.
