Birnin Gwari monarch cries out: My people are being killed daily

The Emir of Birnin Gwari, Kaduna state, Malam Jibril Zubairu Mai Gwari, has cried out that his people are being killed on a daily basis, stressing that the federal government should intensify efforts at ridding the area of bandits.
The monarch made the call at his palace yesterday while receiving the Minister of Interior, Lt. Gen. AbdulRahman Danbazzau (rtd) and Deputy Inspector General of Police, Operations, Habila Joshak who visited Birnin Gwari.
The Minister and DIG were in Birnin Gwari on assessment of the security situation of the area, where killings and kidnap of innocent citizens have become the order of the day.
It would be recalled that, 11 soldiers on Operation Ayem Akpatuma were killed in the area two weeks ago, while nine persons, including a bride, were kidnapped last Sunday just as two people were also killed.
Speaking on the situation, the emir said, armed bandits terrorising his domain hibernate in Zamfara state and come to attack in Birnin Gwari and hibernate in BirninGwari and go to Zamfara to carry out attacks.
He said, he had to cry out about their predicament because until the coming of the minister, they felt they were not part of the country.
He, however, expressed optimism that, with the coming of the minister, the security situation would improve, saying, “People are being killed here on daily basis.
Just the day before yesterday, two people were killed and nine others, including a newly wedded bride were kidnapped.
” The emir also asked the interior minister to tell President Muhammadu Buhari to rehabilitate Kaduna-Birnin Gwari-Jebba road, which has been in a deplorable state for long.
