Danbuga had pledged to ensure the safe return of 5000 people from his constituency living as refugees in the Niger Republic as a result of banditry when he was campaigning for election into the House of Representatives.
“As you are fully aware all the over 5000 internally displaced persons stationed in Niger Republic are from my constituency, and we cannot afford to sooner lose their presence in their communities.
“Upon return to their communities, we will provide them with farming implements, seeds, and irrigation machines to commence farming activities.
“I am also an internally displaced person, I have to run from my Unguwar Lalle village in Sabon Birni Local Government Area to seek refuge in Sokoto metropolis after bandits attacked my residence and killed my Police security in 2021.”
However, Danbuga who is survived by two wives, many children and grandchildren could not actualise the promise before his death.
