Bandits Attack Sokoto Community, Abduct Nine
Armed bandits on Tuesday night stormed Tarah community in Sabon-Birni Local Government Area, Sokoto state, abducting nine residents.
One person also sustained a gunshot wound during the invasion by the terrorists.
Local sources said the community youth mobilised quickly to confront the attackers, preventing what could have been a far deadlier outcome.
The attack occurred just days after members of Tarah’s vigilante group were redeployed to Katsira, leaving the community exposed at a critical moment.
Security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Bakastine, highlighted the escalating risks on his X handle on Wednesday, noting that the recent attacks underscore the urgent need for coordinated action to protect vulnerable communities.
