Birnin-Gwari has been in the news recently for armed banditry, cattle rustling and kidnapping.

Two weeks ago, emir of Birnin Gwari, Zubairu Gwari asked his subjects to defend themselves against those invading their communities.

We can’t be fools to wait for somebody that will not come. Nobody can stop me from telling my people to protect themselves. And that is what we are doing now because the policemen that are in Birnin Gwari cannot protect. The soldiers that are being brought come and sometimes make matters worse. I am also appealing to the president to come and see things for himself, because we are also Nigerians,” he had said in an interview.
