KADUNA — The House of Representatives candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general elections for Birnin-Gwari, Kaduna state, Shehu Abubakar 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.
Speaking on a Channels TV programme on Wednesday morning, Abubakar explained that on Monday, the terrorist group banned political activities in many communities in the Eastern part of Birnin-Gwari.
Abubakar added that apart from banning western education, they have also ordered that the locals should not participate in politics.
“The terrorists, who have been hibernating in forests near the town in the past 10 years, have now seized control of the area, and their activities have been going on unabated.
“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.
He 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.
