Disturbed by the incessant killings and abductions of innocent travelers along the Kaduna- Birnin-Gwari highway, a royal father and the ‘Dan Lawal Birnin-Gwari, Alhaji Abdurauf Zubairu, has advised that travelers should boycott the road, for now, pending when the security situation improves.
He told the BBC Hausa Service yesterday that before the Tuesday attack by terrorists along that road, the terrorists had attacked neighboring communities and farm settlements across the emirate, disrupting farming activities and causing mayhem among the locals.
Corroborating Dan Lawal, a group, Birnin-Gwari Vanguards for Security and Good Governance, said the emirate had been under siege within the past four days.
In a statement by the group’s Chairman, Ibrahim Abubakar, the group explained that on 31st May, 2022, terrorists along Birnin-Gwari- Kaduna highway intercepted a convoy of motorists with security escorts between Kuriga and Manini near Udawa and unspecified number of people were abducted and into the bush.
