Armed Bandits Chase out Mourners in
Birnin-Gwari
Armed bandits have chased away mourners from a grave yard this
morning in KAGI village, about three kilometres from Science
Secondary School Birnin-Gwari in Kaduna state.
The incident occurred, around 8.40 am, when relatives and
volunteers as well as handful of Policemen went to Kagi for burial
of two victims of armed bandits attack in the village that are on
procession to the grave after the funeral prayers.
The gunmen fired shot indiscriminately and the people as well as
the police took to their hills and returned to Birnin-Gwari town
for safety.
Later around 12.00 noon, vigilante groups, volunteers numbering
about 300 and police went back to Kagi and outnumber the armed
bandits to bury those killed in yesterdays attack.
Armed bandits yesterday attacked Kagi and Kugu farming communities
yesterday around 6.00 pm, killing two people, wounded two others
and carted away cows and grains.
Although during the attack the army went to the location but
returned to base thinking the armed bandits had left, only to
resurface this morning to take away remnant of castles that return
to the village.
With this attack on peasant farmers at Kagi (Bagoman Daji), just
three kilomitres from Birnin-Gwari town, the possibility of armed
bandits into Birnin-Gwari town is imminent.
We call on the Federal and state government as well as security
agencies to deploy more personnel to protect ur lives and property
from merciless armed bandits.
