The chairman of Birnin Gwari Vanguard for Security and Good Governance, Ibrahim Abubakar Nagwari, in a statement, noted that the bandits, on motorcycles numbering about 50, attacked the communities around 11am and seized them for four hours, thereby preventing the people from holding Juma’at prayers.
