Reports confirmed that two police have called via phone to inform home that they were attacked and that they could not locate their location.

Similarly, Birnin Gwari Emirate Progressives Union (BEPU) reports that on Thursday an unconfirmed number of bandits have ransacked Damari village in Dogon Dawa constituency of Birnin Gwari local government area.

The bandits who came on several bikes were said to have carted away heavy food commodities and stole a number of motorcycles.

They did not kill anyone. They spent 3 hours in Damari village without any confrontation by the security.

In another painful development, Birnin Gwari Emirate Progressives Union wishes to inform the Kaduna State Government that the promise of deploying more Police along Birnin Gwari Kaduna road is yet to be fulfilled 7 days after the promise was made.

Recall that the Kaduna State Commissioner of Police has last week promised to deploy more police along Birnin Gwari Kaduna road to man the road against rising tides of killings and kidnappings happening along the road daily.

The Commissioner promised that the police will be mobilised to the road last Monday, but as at the time of filing this report, there was no deployment of any police along the road, even as the bandits have continued to perpetrate their heinous acts unabated.

Birnin Gwari Emirates Progressives Union begs the government upon who the protection of our lives and property is reposed on to sit up and face security issues in Birnin Gwari squarely until victory is ascertained.

BEPU thanked the Kaduna state government for her efforts in staving off insecurity in Birnin Gwari.

In a statement signed by Barrister Salisu Haruna Chairman Birnin Gwari Emirate Progressive Union said while congratulating our gallant men and officers of the Nigerian Army and Air force, BEPU thanked them for all the sacrifices they are making to ensure the protection of lives and property in Birnin Gwari, even as the union urges them to continue with their offensive attacks at the enclaves of bandits in Birnin Gwari.

The NFF are reportedly still planning to hire a foreign coach for the three-time African champions.

Adepoju however said his former teammate should stay in charge of the team.

“I would rate him very well. Number one, we’ve qualified for the AFCON, which is one of the objectives,” he told Brila FM.

“I would say he has done well and is still doing well.

“They should keep encouraging him. I believe he’s getting things done, I will rate him high, let just keep supporting him.”
