NIGERIA – SOKOTO – SOKOTO – ANNOUNCEMENT – 2023-06-05 19:55:00
Police have stated that the bandits carried out a targeted expedition against the villages after attacking several herders in a nearby village by a vigilante group. Local sources, who confirmed that a total of 36 people had been killed, indicated that the attacks are allegedly an attempt to form an armed group in the district. Reports indicate that this followed a failed negotiation with the assailants, after the villagers had refused to pay the group money to protect them. Rufai stated that the investigation is underway to apprehend the assailants. This follows after newly elected President Bola Tinubu promised to make the insecurity in Nigeria his priority.
