Ansaru terrorists have taken over Birnin-Gwari communities – Reps candidate, Abubukar 

Shehu Abubakar, the 2023 House of Representatives candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Birnin-Gwari, Kaduna state, has confirmed that Ansaru terrorists have taken over control of many towns in the eastern part of Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of the State.

He said the terrorists, who have been hibernating in forests near the town in the past 10 years, have now seized control of the area.

Speaking on a Channels TV programme on Wednesday morning, he explained that on Monday, the terrorist group banned political activities in many communities in the Eastern part of Birnin-Gwari.

He further explained that the Ansaru group is located in the eastern part of Birnin-Gwari and their activities have been going on there for over 10 years unabated.

According to him, “It was just this year that they started showing their mission because all these while, they have been living peacefully with the people. They were even defending the community from the attacks of the bandits.”

He said apart from banning western education, they have also ordered that the locals should not participate in politics.

The PDP House of Representatives candidate appealed to governments at all levels to urgently take necessary steps to liberate the area to enable the people to fully participate in the 2023 elections and other programmes of government.
