Residents erupted in joyful noise, last Tuesday, as Governor Nasir El Rufai of Kaduna State emerged from his vehicle in Birnin Gwari -the beleaguered headquarters of Birnin Gwari Local Government Area, LGA, of the state, about 120km west of Kaduna metropolis.
In the estimation of the people who had thronged there, El Rufai was a liberator. The reason was not far-fetched: They had been held under the pincer-grip of murderous gangsters for years. The gunmen had scoffed at the feeble attempts by the police and the military to chase them out.
But, that day, seated on the rain soaked ground before the governor and his entourage were nine half-stripped men, some with wide scars on their heads and parts of their exposed bodies – a signature of their violent trade. They were, according to official accounts, among the administrators of the reign of terror that had been unleashed on Birnin Gwari and a much larger area that borders four other states. Behind the suspected gangsters were the alleged evidence of their greed and criminality– about 50 cows.
The recovered cows, swathing flies with their tails, and unaware of the excitement around them, were just a fraction of the over 2,000 cows recovered from the suspected serial rustlers and their fleeing accomplices as would be later revealed in this story.
El Rufai had arrived the place with some state officials to ascertain the success of a joint security initiative arranged by him, in collaboration with the governments of Kaduna, Kebbi, Zamfara, Niger and Katsina states.
