Crime❌How Bandits Settled In Kaduna Communities. by adecz(op): 11:12am On Aug 17, 2022
A online media company, KADUNA Political Affairs, has given an insighton the origins of the bandits phenomenon in Kaduna state.


How Bandits Found New Home In Kaduna Communities

Northern Bureau Chief, MUHAMMAD SABIU, writes on the plight of residents of Birnin-Gwari, a town located in the eastern part of Kaduna State, where bandits have now found a new home.

A community leader, who holds the title of Danmasani Birnin Gwari, Zubairu Abdulra’uf, recently shared an insight about the plight of the farmers in his community. He told journalists that communities can only farm if they pay taxes in millions to bandits.

Shedding light on the payment of taxes, Abdulra’uf said a district (Randegi) paid N200 million to bandits within two years as taxes to allow them to farm, adding that the Birnin Gwari local government paid as much as N400 million as taxes to the bandits.

He said the payment of the taxes is divided into three phases: pre-season, mid-season and after-harvesting season.

How did Birnin Gwari get here?

For decades, bandits have lived in Birnin Gwari communities. Even though the reason for their presence in the area is not immediately understood, many are of the view that the forest may have attracted them to the area.

Findings revealed that the forest covers the states of Kaduna, Niger, Zamfara and Katsina, thus, making it easy for criminals to operate and maintain it as their hideouts.

Residents of the area disclosed that there are different bandit commanders, who established different camps in the forests. According to them, the bandits launch their attacks on these communities at will and after abducting locals, they returned to the forests.

A resident, who didn’t want to be named, told Nigerian Tribune how a deadly attack on banks about a decade ago led to the closure of banks and by extension, the collapse of business activities in the area.

The resident said: “Since then, a town like Birnin Gwari has no banks. If we want to make transactions, we have to travel to Kaduna which is about two-and-a-half-hour journey and you are not sure whether you will come back alive.”

The source also noted that residents preferred to travel to neighbouring towns of Kagara and Kontogora in Niger state for business transactions.

“Sometimes, we travel as far as Zungeru and Minna for business transactions if we want to receive large sums of money. This is how we are surviving in Birnin Gwari,” the resident added.

In a statement made available to the Nigerian Tribune by the Birnin-Gwari Emirate Progressives’ Union (BEPU), and signed by the Chairman of the forum, Ishaq Usman Kasai, the group expressed worry over the influx of bandits into the communities in the LGA.

“The forests house different groups of criminals/terrorists. The criminals used to go near and far to operate and then come back to the forests with their captives for negotiation of ransom,” the group said.

According to the statement, the western part of Birnin-Gwari is mostly being affected by the operation of large number of armed bandits who encircle the district and operate unchallenged.

BEPU added that the bandits at the western part of Birnin-Gwari forests are usually sighted by locals when they leave their hideouts to attack neighbouring communities in Niger State.

Kasai said more than 30 communities have been displaced in the western part of Birnin-Gwari by bandits, adding that “it is disturbing that many of these communities are currently being occupied by armed bandits unchallenged.”

Findings revealed that 75 percent of New Tabanni people have abandoned their homes and even those that remain because of their farms and other businesses do not spend night there.

He said: “Security problem in the eastern part of Birnin-Gwari is deteriorating where terrorists are presently governing the area.

The BEPU chairman also said Danwandara and Kwanar Dam are among the dangerous flashpoints where armed bandits used to attack, kill and kidnap people between Tabanni and Kuyello road.

Usman: How Dambazau Resisted Pressure to Topple Jonathan

•Says he made a promise to international community he wouldn’t


•Ex-army chief proposes drastic reform of entire security sector

•Declares size of military, police inadequate for Nigeria’s population

•Buni cautions against hate speech, says nation’s interest uppermost

Chuks Okocha and Kingsley Nwezeh in Abuja

Former spokesman of the Nigerian Army, Brig.-Gen. Kukasheka Usman (rtd), yesterday, spilled an untold story that would shock many Nigerians, as he revealed how ex-Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd), was pressured to topple President Goodluck Jonathan following the passing of President Umaru Yar’Adua in 2010.


Usman made the disclosure in Abuja at the 2022 Blueprint Newspapers Annual Public Lectures and Impact Series/Award. He said Dambazau not only resisted the pressure from people the former army spokesperson described as enemies of Nigeria, but he also promised the international community, which got wind of the development, he would do no such thing.

The revelation came as Dambazau suggested a drastic reform of the entire security sector after the 2023 general election.

Relatedly, Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni warned that no individual or collective interest was worth plunging the country into war for in order to win the forthcoming election. Buni cautioned against hate speech, saying Nigeria’s interest must be uppermost at all times.


Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello also said those responsible for the country’s security crisis could not be trusted to find a lasting solution to it. Bello said with serious commitment, the security challenges could be successfully tackled within six months.

Recounting how Dambazau resisted pressure to overthrow the Jonathan government, Usman said, “One thing Nigerians do not know is that if we are counting champions of democracy in this country, there is no way you will not mention Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau, and I will tell you why.

“Way back in the days when President Umar Yar’Adua was sick, he was the Chief of Army Staff and I had the privilege of being public relations officer in the office of the army chief. I had the privilege of moving with him. We always moved together and I knew.

“Even though he is a prolific writer, he is yet to come out with his memoir and part of that memoir should be an expose of those people that undermined democracy in this country.

“I am saying this with every sense of responsibility, because that time the same group of politicians were the ones lobbying him to take over government unconstitutionally. We have the records and when he started writing the memoir, with due respect to him, I told him that he had to mention the names of the individuals so that posterity will remember them for who they are.

“Up till now, we are still contending with that issue and I know that the international community showed concern, to the extent that they had to meet with him, where he promised that he will not take over government.

“We still live with the flaks, where in some parts of the country, they call us women, because an opportunity came and we did not take advantage of it to take over government. Now, what am I driving at? All these issues that we are talking about lack focus on critical issues, discussing mundane issues; they are threatening the very corporate existence of this nation.

“When we visited 44 Reference Hospital, Kaduna, people were asking when is the announcement going to be made about taking over government. I’m so happy Gen. Akinyemi, the GOC 3rd Amoured Division (Jos) is still alive. You can ask him.

“A simple phone call to him to roll out the tanks and Gen. Dambazau would have been head of state, but he resisted that temptation, simply, because he had the interest of this nation at heart and he knows that democracy is the best form of government for this country.

Recall that Dambazau was at the time accused of ordering troops to Airport Road, Abuja, and the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport without Jonathan’s authorisation at the death of Yar’Adua. It was also alleged that the then Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Air Chief Marshal Paul Dike (rtd), once restricted Dambazau’s movement to his residence as army chief over his suspected “ambitious moves.
