Motorists, mostly trailers and commercial vehicles, were on Monday brought to a complete halt in Birnin-Gwari town for eight hours by a popular protest against the ineffectiveness of the government of Kaduna State governor Mukhtar Yero over security matters.
As early as 6.00am, people from Birnin Gwari had blocked the interchange road access heading to Kaduna and Lagos, as well as Funtua in Katsina State, condemning the weak approach of the governor to the challenge of security of life and property.
They cited, among others, Sunday evening’s brutal killing by armed robbers of a 27-year old lecturer at Kaduna State University, Abubakar Shehu Yahaya (the son of the Chief Imam of Birnin-Gwari) on the Birnin-Gwari Kaduna road.
