Farmers lost over N100m in Kaduna maize farm attacks — Zubairu

Member representing Birnin Gwari and Giwa Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Bashir Zubairu Birnin Gwari, said over N100 million was lost by farmers following an attack on a maize farm by bandits in Kaduna State.

The lawmaker disclosed this while speaking with BBC Hausa Radio monitored on Wednesday in Kaduna about the Sunday bandit attack on maize farms at Kwaga and Unguwar Zoko in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area.He said if the government failed to address such atrocities, the people would have no choice but to defend themselves.“It was a huge loss of over N100 million, and they (the bandits) have not stopped, because it’s something they’ve been doing for the past two to three months. They claim that their people were attacked, their properties destroyed, and their seized weapons must be returned to them,” he said.
