Armed bandits have again launched an audacious fresh attack in Sokoto State.

It was gathered that 27 persons, including women and children, were abducted from Gatawa, a community in Sabo Birni.
Confirming the incident, the member representing Sabon Birni East constituency at the State House of Assembly, Sa’idu Ibrahim, said the bandits were now targeting security formations in the area.
“They are now looking for where security operatives are stationed because their morale was boosted by their recent attack on a military formation at Dama where many soldiers, policemen and Civil Defence officers were killed.
“So they are now attacking places where they know Military, Police or other Paramilitary camped.
