\u00a0Alhaji Zubairu Abdulrauf, a 2023 House of Representatives aspirant in Kaduna State, has advocated for more community involvement in intelligence gathering and sharing to curb banditry.<\/p>\n

Abdulrauf is aspiring on the platform of PDP<\/a> to represent Birnin-Gwari\/Giwa federal constituency at the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

He said community role is key in the efforts to checkmate insecurity in parts of the country<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He made the appeal during a condolence visit to the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) office in Giwa on Monday.<\/p>\n

However, he called for special training of volunteers and vigilante members, and other rigorous government approach in eliminating the insecurity in communities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Abdulrauf, who commensurated with the victims of attacks in the area\u00a0 said incessant bandits rampage on communities in the constituency had resulted into huge loss of lives and valuables.<\/p>\n

He condemned the incidents and urged government at all levels to do more to safeguard the lives and property of citizens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Abdulrauf identified corruption, poverty and unemployment as major causes of crimes in the society, urging communities to rise against criminals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The aspirant however assured the residents that the situation would soon become a thing of the past when PDP assumed power in 2023.<\/p>\n

Responding, the PDP Chairman, Giwa Local Government Area, Alhaji Abdulkadir Kago, commended the concern of the aspirant, describing him as highly humane.<\/p>\n

Kago, therefore, appealed for deployment of more military and security<\/a> personnel in volatile areas of Giwa and Birnin-Gwari to halt the rampaging bandits from terrorising the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
