Stop Cattle Rustling, Armed Robbery and Kidnappings in Birnin Gwari Today! Secure Our Lives, Secure Our Town Now!

The government has toured every part of the state and has seen critically how insecurity affects the lives of Kaduna state citizens and implementation of its policies. Insecurity with all its attendants’ allies has ravaged the state considerably.

Armed robbery, cattle rustling, ethno-religious crises and others have for a very long time thwarted an optimal development of the state. Insecurity, just like Boko Haram insurgency, constitutes the biggest threat being faced by the state and its neighbours. Its gladdening to note that few weeks after his inauguration, governor Malam Nasir El-Rufai has swiftly taken a cogent lead in the fight against insecurity in the state. It’s our hope that the effort started will be followed up patiently until victory is ascertained.

Particularly, on ethno-religious crises in the state that shattered mutual co-existence of the citizens, government should try as much as possible to look into various reports on the problem submitted to the previous governments.

Specifically, government should try to look into Prof Shehu Usman Abdullahi and Prof James Kantiok led committee on Peace and Reconciliation in Kaduna state. The committee did a wonderfully through work and submitted its report to the then state governor, late Patrick Yakowa.

Similarly, government should try and reinforce Community Policing, empower its traditional leaders and reinvigorate the Vigilante Service into becoming an intelligent, sophisticated and rewarding work.

It is paramount to emphasize here that government’s efforts towards curbing the incessant cases of insecurity in the state will not be complete without providing the restless and jobless youth means of survival.

As such, government should as a matter of urgency complement its measures being taken to check the ugly manifestations of insecurity in the state by massive provisions of jobs.

Particularly, the armed robbery and cattle rustling in Birnin Gwari Kamuku forest should be given a heavy blow.

The scourge appears to be a hefty one and must be considered as disastrous as Boko Haram insurgency.

The combined operation geared towards flushing the evil Kamuku forest and others by Kaduna state and others must be supported by the federal government and if necessary, the international bodies.

Kamuku forest, Kuyanbana forest and other forests bordering Katsina, Zamfara, Niger and Kebbi states must be freed. The lives of people are endangered and highly threatened by the continued existence of these demonic evil perpetrators.

Finally on security, government should strengthen its intelligence unit of the Police. People should be encouraged to report strange movements around them. Similarly, the Kaduna state government should not compromise in its resolve to deal decisively with insecurity in the state.

Those found culpable should be subjected to the rule of law. Government must be seen not in any way taking the issue of insecurity as a compromisable one (that can be compromised). The perpetrators must be fished out and be punished according to the established laws. No mighty or poor should be allowed to go free once found in a way aiding insecurity in my dear state.

Kaduna state can only be great again if the government is ready, determined, committed and fearless enough to implement its planed and or, intended programs aimed towards restoring the lost prestige of the state.
Thank you.
