Birnin Gwari is one of the most attacked areas by non-state actors in Kaduna state.
Residents and travellers have suffered loss of loved ones due to persistent killings, maiming, and destruction meted on them by terrorists in the last six years.
However, Premium Times noted that the attack and killings have drastically reduced due to activities of the Nigerian military and other security operatives operating in the area and other parts of the state.
2023 elections: Court give verdict on Bola Tinubu's certificate forgery suit
In another report, the certificate forgery filed by the Action Alliance (AA) against Tinubu has been dismissed by a Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday, December 13.
Justice Obiora Egwuata held that the suit filed by the AA was statute-barred as it overlapped the mandatory 14 days that the 1999 constitution (as amended) had made provision for.
According to Egwuata, the suit is now academic and grossly incompetent, adding that the court did not have the jurisdiction to entertain it or grant the relief that the plaintiff sought.
