The gunmen who escaped from Zamfara have caused a period of oppression in Birnin Gwari.
People in Birnin Gwari, which is in Kaduna state, said that since Wednesday, a lot of robbers from Zamfara state have been coming to the area.
In the past few days, Nigerian military officials have been shooting at robbers in Zamfara state. Some people think this is why bandits are leaving the area and going to neighboring states.
Alhaji Zubairu Idris Abdurra'uf, an expert on Birnin Gwari, said that people have been telling them since Wednesday that robbers have been seen in some parts of Birnin Gwari.
Abdurra'uf said that the bandits, who are thought to be the soldiers who are supposed to drive them out of Zamfara, are riding motorcycles with guns into Birnin Gwarin.
Since today, security experts like Major Yahaya Shinko, who is now retired, still think that the security forces need to change.
Major Shinko said that the government should put more security forces in the Birnin Gwari area, and every time the army goes after thieves, security forces should be waiting at the borders they cross to stop them.
Malam Nasuru Ahmed El-Rufa'i, the governor of Kaduna State, has said over and over again that the only way to stop the killings by bandits is for all the states to work together.
Bandits are attacking many parts of Birnin Gwari local government, and they are threatening to stop people from farming this year. They are also making the road from Kaduna to Birnin into a death trap, and they stop passengers almost every week.
