Armed men suspected to be terrorists have killed six people and abducted many others at a village in Gwadabawa Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
The gunmen were said to have stormed Tudun Doki village at about 1:30 am on Sallah day.
The Public Relations Officer of the Police Command in Sokoto, Ahmed Rufa’i, confirmed the attack.
He said six bodies have been retrieved so far, but the police have yet to ascertain the number of abducted persons.
The gangs, who maintain camps in a huge forest straddling Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna and Niger states, have also undertaken large-scale kidnappings of pupils from schools in recent years.
Bandits have recently stepped up attacks, particularly in Katsina and Zamfara states.
