Bandits Abduct Head Teachers, Others in
Birnin-Gwari
Armed bandits had abducted, the Head Teacher of Dangamji,
Primary School, AbdulHafiz Abdullahi and two others at Doka filing
station, while two others where shot and seriously wounded.
Earlier on Wednesday morning around 8.30am, heavily armed
bandits, opened fire on vehicles around Polwaya and abduct a bread
vendor, about Ten kilometers from BIRNIN-GWARI. Similarly, the
armed bandits strike again on wednesday near Gayam village, wounded
three vigilante and abduct people from vehicles. The notorious
Unguwar Yako, Kwanan Mahaukaciya and indeed entire
Birnin-Gwari-Kaduna highway has been overtaken by bandits
terrorising and abducting innocent people especially women and
Children.
In the last three weeks, armed bandits has launched a major
onslaught against innocent civilians and motorists across the
length and breath of Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna
State.
On a daily basis, the armed bandits carry their nefarious act
along BIRNIN-GWARI-Kaduna highway in broad day light without any
challenge from the security personnels that are stationed in
BIRNIN-GWARI. The strategic Birnin-Gwari-Funtua road has been
deserted, while the entire Eastern part of Birnin-Gwari neighboring
Zamfara and Katsina States is now surrounded by armed bandits.
It is apparent to state categorically, that, Birnin-Gwari is
once again under siege by bandits and the handful security
personnel and state officials are paying leap service to the our
plight of general insecurity of lives and property.
We have noticed with, dismay, the way and manner our people are
subjected to horrified and traumatised situation by the armed
bandits that prey on human beings every day on various communities,
villages and settlements in Birnin-Gwari Local government area.
While we appreciate previous efforts by the security personnel
against armed banditry in Birnin-Gwari, we hope the government of
Malam Nasiru El- Rufa’i, will not treat our people as prodigal
sons.
With the current tension, fear and inability of peasant farmers
to go to their respective farms because of activities of bandits,
we strongly call on the Federal government, Kaduna state government
and the security agents to act decisively on the bandits and their
collaborators before we are consumed by the bandits. Enough is
enough.
