the state police command had earlier denied that nobody was killed in the said councils, describing the reports as fake.




Some armed bandits have reportedly taken over two local governments in Sokoto State where they now have a new district head.
Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal [b]confirmed to newsmen in an interview on Monday that the terrorist group have in the last weekend killed no fewer than fifteen residents of Goronyo and Illela.[/b]

However, Tambuwal who appeared on Channels Television programme yesterday, confirmed the attack, noting that the victims were murdered during the raid which happened on Sunday night and last through Monday morning.

Tambuwal told reporters that the bandits have also appointed district heads in affected communities.

Naija News reports that Governor Tambuwal gave the confirmation shortly before he presented the state’s 2022 draft budget to members of the state House of Assembly.

He said: ”12 people were killed in Illela and three others lost their lives in Goronyo.’’

The governor commiserated with the families of those who lost their loved ones to the attacks, as well as people of the affected communities.

Meanwhile, a native of one of the affected communities, Idris Gobir, had told VOA Hausa Service in an interview that the bandits had appointed two district heads in the Sabon Birni zone of Sokoto State.


He said: “Yesterday (Sunday), the bandits’ leader celebrated the Maulud in Makwaruwa, where he declared himself the district head. The event took place in the presence of the bona fide district head. But when they asked if he had any objection, the bonafide district head, Dan Sani, paid allegiance to the bandits’ leader who usurped his powers.

‘’Similarly, in Gangara town, the bandits summoned a meeting which was attended by all the inhabitants and the bandits. They selected Dan Kwaro and he is now the district head of that town.”

Gobir noted that the new district head paraded himself in the communities last week Thursday giving orders that mosques should be reopened.

The government directed that the inhabitants should stop going outside the town for prayers, that they should be performing their prayers in the town.

“They control the local justice system and others. He ordered that markets be reopened on Tuesdays,” Gobir noted.

Another resident who gave his name as Bashir Altine Guyawa, told journalists that even before the bandits appointed district heads in the area, they had for a long time, been in control of that zone and called the shots.

He said: “From Dama where there was an encounter between the bandits and security agents, up to Zango and Gatawa, the bandits are in total control of these areas and dictate daily affairs.

“So, whether they announce the appointment of district heads or not, they have already established their presence and they are in control. So, anybody who had traditional authority can no longer exercise that power,” he said.

Yoruba Muslims is this not seccession?

State sponsored Jihad on course

E be like say bandits and Boko Haram don form their own country oo

This is the same fool that that idiot called wike is frolicking with so as to be his vice P in 2023..

Nigeria politicians are our problem in this contraption

Emergingnation1:
Yoruba muslim indirectly support their conquering activities... That's why MURIC the chief Yoruba Muslims never for once condemn their activities

no be lie

The first thing the so called Terrorists did was to order mosques to be reopened as Allah apostles

Islam cashing out as end product of Terrorists but Taqiya Yoruba muslims would say Islam has nothing to gain with terrorism

Same terrorism that Mohamed said made him victorious as Allah apostle


Sahih Bukhari (52:220) - Allah's Apostle said... 'I have been made victorious with terror'

Where is BBQ,since today d guy don go hide,I miss that curse were u dey cause urself

It's a lie, Lai, Laiar and liar joor.

Is this not the Afghanistan way? These people are slowly taking over parts of Nigeria and establishing their government but people just behave like nothing is happening. The almighty Nigerian army are sleeping on their bum while a new government is being established.

The only thing they know how to do is to chase Sunday and Nnamdi up and down and engage in petty sensationalism, very stupid.

I thought they said IPOB is the real problem?

From Borno to Zamfara,to Sokoto,Buhari has officially been ceding some Nigerian territories to bandits.
Nnamdi Kanu and Igboho may have wasted their energy,resources and lives of some some people and associates fighting over something BH wants to give them on a platter of gold;division of Nigeria into seperate entities.

Nigeria is like an irresponsible father who's beginning to reap the benefits of abandoning his kids for decades.

Until I hear from Lai mohammed, Í will not believe.

Ok

Until I hear from the presidency this news is 100 percent fake, lai and Femi will debunk it tomorrow.

These ab0kis abi na mallams we go call them are playing with the future of their kids with the way bokoharam terrorists and their bandits subsidiary are gaining grounds in the North.

Those terrorists are integrating with the communities in the North and are even appointing leaders there now from what we heard. Buhari no try o, we expected more than this from his resume as a retired major-general but it seems all hope is lost and bandits now have free hands to operate.

The way people think

In east Nigeria arm forces are doing tax collections with multiple checkpoints


WE DRANK PROTEIN POWDER IN 1970-1980


THEY ARE TAKING PROTEIN POWDER IN SINCE 1999-2021


THEY SET MULTIPLE ARM FORCES CHECKPOINTS IN EAST TO INTIMIDATE US AFTER THE WAR


MULTIPLE TERRORIST GROUPS IS INTIMIDATING THEM SINCE 2002 TILL 2021


MULTIPLE ARE FORCES CHECK POINTS COLLECTING TAX WITH ROAD BLOCKS IN SOUTH EAST CAUSING HARDSHIP



MULTIPLE TERRORISTS COLLECTING TAX AND INSTALLING LEADERS IN THE NORTH


YOU'RE NOT DOING THE EAST....GIVE IT TIME IT WILL COME TO YOU

They're gradually carving out territories bit by bit, and if you guys continue sleeping, they will eventually take over northern states and chase away the governors.

Taliban take over loading....
