He is the Founder of the literary arts collective, Open Arts. His journalistic works have appeared in The Africa Report, Saraba Magazine, This Is Africa, Asymptote and Music in Africa amongst others. His topics include uncovering sexual abuses and gender based violence as well as a focus on feminism in conservative Northern Nigeria. He was the first journalist to report on the #ArewaMeToo uprising in Northern Nigeria on the tide turning for men who have grown accustomed to abusing women with impunity, where recently activists against sexual violence continue to face increasing backlash from diverse camps that seek to silence the conversation to tackle sexual violence in Northern Nigeria with threats of violence. He also examines cases of pleasure and sex in Northern Nigeria, and the influence of queer culture inflected and influenced by local conditions and cultural nuances, by investigating representations of queerness in Hausa literature. He was also a contributor from Northern Nigeria to the Music in Africa Connects project, an initiative aiming to support the music sectors of African countries affected by conflict focusing on religion and music in Northern Nigeria where fundamentalists generally consider art and entertainment sinful as well as religion and music censorship and crackdown by the religious police, Hisbah on Hausa pop musicians, with further interest in music and religious violence in Northern Nigeria. He was shortlisted for the Kofi Addo Prize for Creative Nonfiction administered by Writivism in 2017 and was among the participants in the Goethe Institute Nigeria-Cameroon Literary Exchange Program.
