Panic As Gunmen Kidnap Seven Travellers In Sokoto

Some gunmen, who are yet to be identified, have reportedly abducted no fewer than seven travelers in the Sabon Borno area of Sokoto State.

Zagazola Makama, a counterinsurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, reported that the gunmen intercepted a commercial vehicle near Chin Golf Village early Tuesday morning.

According to the publication, the victims, comprising six women and a driver, were forced out of the vehicle and taken into the forest.

The report suggested that the gunmen are suspected to be associates of Turji Bello, a notorious bandit leader.

Efforts to reach the Sokoto State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Ahmed Rufa’i, proved abortive as he did not respond to calls made by DAILY POST.
