Armed bandits have declared total war on
Birnin-Gwari and commuters along the two major highways of
Birnin-Gwari-Kaduna and Birnin-Gwari-Funtua.
According
to Ibrahim Abubakar Nagwari, chairman, Birnin-Gwari Vanguards for
Security and Good Governance, “the latest incident is the killing
of a young man Abdulkarim Bagoma, yesterday evening by armed
bandits and three others sustained various degree of injuries along
Birnin-Gwari-Funtua road.
“While
the wife of late Abdulkarim Bagoma and one other person (Ibrahim Mai
alignment) whereabouts remain unknown as at this morning.
There
is no doubt that the armed bandits had resumed their nefarious act of
inflicting irreparable loss of lives, injecting fear, grip and sorrow
on the people of Birnin-Gwari local government area as a whole and
neighboring communities of Niger State.
“Only
yesterday, one kidnapped victim was released after payment of ransom,
while the fate of kidnapped journalist his wife and two
siblings for over nine days is dicey and traumatic condition as the
Kidnappers has cut lines of communication.
“We
have for long cautioned the security agencies on the need to a
pragmatic approach and strategy in their operations of
uprooting all armed bandits in Zamfara state to Birnin-Gwari general
area.
“Although
a significant success were made by the military, Police and other
security personnel to clampdown these terrorists, their escape routes
along Birnin-Gwari-Kaduna as well as Birnin-Gwari-Funtua road remain
porous and all kidnappers camps are active.
“We are appealing to the Federal government
and security agencies hierarchy to change their strategy in their
fight with the armed bandits in our territory.”
