Suspected bandits on Tuesday stormed Tabbani village in Rabah Local Government Area of Sokoto State, and killed a district head, Usman Mohammed, and 45 others.

Credible sources in the village told DAILY NIGERIAN that the gunmen set the village ablaze and shot sporadically at fleeing villagers.



Multiple sources, including the son of the slain district head, Aliyu Ibrahim, confirmed the attack, with others saying they counted 50 bodies at Gandi Hospital.

“The bandits first set the whole village on fire and then started shooting people fleeing from the fire.

“The village is now deserted. The lucky ones who survived the attack are now seeking refuge at Gandi town,” Iro Aminu, a local who survived the attack, told DAILY NIGERIAN.

The spokesman for the Sokoto Police Command, Cordelia Nwawe, confirmed the attack but said the command could not ascertain the casualty figure at the moment.

“The situation is now under control. The command will issue statement and give full details tomorrow,” she added.

BMC when your bubu watch people die like birds, who'll na vote in 2019??
They no longer name victims In Nigeria Instead we hear numbers

Subhanallahi! RIP to the dead..

Hmmm! We really need to work and pray against a Rwanda/Somalia/Libya situation!

very good the north gradually descending to the level of Afghanistan. finally the caliphate has been strucked under the government of a fundamentalist and extremist.

it is no secret that buhari has issues with sokoto, first removing shagari, secondly refusing wazirin sokoto to get proper medication which led to his death and detaining dasuki for long even flouting court orders.

let the north undo what they have done to themselves.

no comment

It is plane clear to the world that they are buharis foot soldiers causing trouble any were they go..I urge ervy anti buhari state upnorth to form dia own destructive militia.A militia that can carry out revenge attack on any pro buhari state..2019 must be
..Fire for Fire..violence for violence.

I call on all right thinking southerners to shun tribalism,lets allign ad work with the forces of light upnorth..It is obvious that all northerners are not with buhari.
lets unite ad play matured politics with lovers of democracy upnorth.
