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.
