About 544 residents of Kaduna Central zone sustained injury in 2021, while Kaduna South zone recorded 253 and Kaduna North zone recorded 94.

It said that 13,788 cows were rustled across the state within the 12 months covered by the report.

While 7,935 cows were stolen in 2020 , 13,788 cows were rustled in 2021.

Aruwan also said that there is a growing threat of food insecurity in the state as farmers found it difficult to access their farms for key farming activities, having been kidnapped or for fear of being abducted.

He said that many farmers were also killed, by bandits who also extort taxes from them before they could access their farms.

He said that Birnin Gwari, Igabi, Giwa, Zaria, Chikun, Kauru, Kajuru, Kachia, Kagarko, Zangon Kataf, Jema’a and Sanga local governments were the most affected.

The report indicated that 182 cases of farm destruction either by cattle under the watch of itinerant herders or herds rustled by bandits which destroy farms during escape, especially in Birnin Gwari, Giwa, Igabi, Chikun, Kajuru, Jema’a, Kaura, Kauru and Zangon Kataf local government areas.

Aruwan then lamented the growing interaction between the bandits in the state and terrorist groups such as Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Ansaru which he said does not augur well for the state. (vitalnews)
