Some forty Nigerian soldiers surrounded a suspected militant's hideout in Badoo suburb of Sokoto township leading to a fierce gun battle. A soldier and five militants have reportedly died from the ensuing gunfight that lasted hours.

The suspected gun men reportedly rented a flat in a new housing Estate in Bado area, using the house as their operational base.

Last year May Islamist militants in Sokoto were attacked by British and Nigerian soldiers in a botched attempt to rescue two Europeans held hostage there.

Just last week armed robbers in broad day light attacked traders at old market and carted away goods and cash worth several millions of naira after they have injured several people.

i thought sokoto is free from islamic insurgents?

Sokoto indigenes shouldn't allow these bloodsucking bastards get a foothold in their state! Up till now it's been an oasis of peace in the hellhole that is northern Nigeria, and they should hunt the bastards down and despatch them straight to hell.

JTF no mercy! fish them out from their ant hole and send the bastards back to allah! shege damburuba kawai!

i concur....these bastards should not be given amnestry rather JTF should intensify efforts aimed at wiping them out completely including their sympathizers, sponsors and financiers.
