“Dogo Gide’s side also suffered severe losses, including close associates and some family members.
“The rivalry is a battle of supremacy over the control of mining sites.
“There are several gold mining sites in Birnin Gwari. Most mined products are smuggled outside Nigeria into Niger, which implies a strong connection with criminal elements in the Republic of Niger.
“The recent clash draws attention to more rivalry attacks in the days ahead, considering the encroachment of JAS and ISWAP elements in the Northwest.”
