He claimed that they kidnapped an unknown number of persons and took them into the wilderness.”
He further explained that, “in the last four days, terrorists laid siege on motorists on Birnin-Gwari-Kaduna highway, abducting as well as killing and wounding many innocent citizens, yet our people are reduced to silent mode with no reportage of the ugly situation nor any move by the authorities to show concern on the deteriorating security around Birnin-Gwari-Kaduna highway,” he lamented.
The chairman added that terrorists set fire to eight vehicles on Monday, and that an undetermined number of innocent motorists, mostly women and children, were kidnapped and taken into the jungle by the terrorists for ransom.
He explained that, given the people’s security concerns, no politician desired to visit Birnin-Gwari or meet with delegates, preferring instead to send representatives to Kaduna for deliberations.
