A youth leader from Birnin Magaji, who spoke to PRNigeria, confirmed the community’s actions. He explained that this drastic step was taken in response to the relentless assaults by terrorists on their community. These attacks have made daily life a perilous endeavor for the residents.

The situation in Zamfara has seen a surge in terrorist activities, with the recent kidnapping of at least 80 children in the Tsafe Local Government Area drawing national attention. This incident served as a stark reminder of the looming threat that these criminal elements pose to the region.
Furthermore, in a separate incident, Nigerian security forces initiated a search operation for eight kidnapped National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members in Zamfara State. These corps members, on their way from Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, to Sokoto State for their one-year national service, had their journey interrupted by terrorists.
The actions of the Birnin Magaji community reflect the growing frustration and desperation among residents who find themselves living in fear amid the recurring attacks by terrorists.
