The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the remand of Sanusi Dankaka at the Kuje Correctional Centre over allegations that he threatened to publish nude videos and photographs purportedly involving Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, on Facebook.

It was gathered that Justice Salim Ibrahim issued the remand order on Monday after the Department of State Services (DSS) arraigned Dankaka on two counts of alleged cybercrime.

The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to both charges.

In the first count, the prosecution alleged that Dankaka, alongside other individuals who are still at large, used his Facebook account, identified as Sanusi Dankaka Yahaya, to threaten to release nude videos and photographs purportedly involving Governor Yusuf.

The DSS further alleged that the threatened publication was false and intended to cause annoyance, inconvenience, insult and injury to the governor.

According to the prosecution, the alleged offences contravene Section 27(1)(6) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015, as amended, and are punishable under Section 24(1) of the same legislation.

At the court session on Monday, DSS counsel, Yusuf Afegbua, informed the judge that the case was scheduled for hearing.

Counsel to the defendant, Kauna Penzin, also told the court that the defence was ready to proceed with the matter.

The defence counsel did not oppose the application.

Justice Ibrahim granted the prosecution’s request and ordered that Dankaka be remanded at the correctional facility.

The judge adjourned the case until December 7, 2026, for trial.
