Several worshippers were also abducted during the assault, with the exact number yet to be verified.



Bandits in the early hours of Saturday launched a deadly attack on worshippers observing the Subh prayer in Kiba Ruwa, a community in the Sabon-Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

According to local sources who spoke with Egbe Mekun Parrots, the assailants stormed the mosque at dawn, opening fire on the congregants.

Two people including the imam who was leading the prayer were confirmed dead.

Several worshippers were also abducted during the assault, with the exact number yet to be verified.

Security agencies have reportedly been alerted, while residents remain in a state of fear as search and rescue efforts begin.

In neighbouring Kebbi State, bandits weeks ago attacked the Government Girls’ Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga, in the Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area, where 26 schoolgirls were abducted.

All soldiers previously stationed at the school had been summoned to Abuja for interrogation as part of efforts to determine why the security post was vacated shortly before the attack.

Previously, SaharaReporters reported that Nasir Idris, the governor of Kebbi, expressed alarm over what he described as the “withdrawal of military personnel” from the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, shortly before bandits stormed the facility and abducted several students.

The governor said the situation was particularly disturbing because the state had earlier received intelligence warning of a possible attack and had immediately convened a security meeting to address the threat.

“As a responsive government, when we received intelligence on a possible attack, we summoned a security meeting,” NAN quoted the governor as saying.

"The security agencies assured us that all was well and that personnel would be mobilised to the school.

“The military was deployed, but they later withdrew by 3am, and by 3:45am, the incident happened.”

Idris also said the state had demanded a thorough inquiry into the circumstances that led to the withdrawal of troops.

“Who authorised the military to withdraw?” How did security personnel pull out at such a critical time? That is our concern. We have asked the military to investigate and identify who gave that order,” the governor said.

The Maga District Head, Muhammad Dantani, also raised serious concerns over the role of the Nigerian military in the recent attack on Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Kebbi State, where armed bandits killed a staff member and abducted 25 students.

Just to make it look like there's no christian genocide in Nigeria.

Make them no reach Sokoto Prison.

Or am I giving ideas?

In sokoto state? Peter obi will soon rush to the media and condemn it.

Points proved, perhaps more might be needed

Claiming political points while putting their region on a wrong map.

Northerners should go and ask for forgiveness from whoever that might have cursed them

This is getting worse

A country that negotiates with terrorists is bound for destruction

Creation of state police should be fast tracked

You're absolutely correct! We are not buying it.

Since Nnamdi Kanu, the international terrorist, as he was rightly declared by the Court, was sentenced to life imprisonment and consequently jailed at the Sokoto Prison, Sokoto State has experienced strings of terrorist attacks.

We4all:
You're absolutely correct! We are not buying it.

Because America is watching.

Genocide against both Christians and Muslims must be stopped. I expect our Muslims brothers and sisters to join us in seeking for help. Enough is enough.


Nigeria shall be great again.



Tinubu, a bad man with good intentions

They are advancing to their hardquarter very soon they will touch the Caliphate. Maybe Sultan will now condemn Jihadist as they have started killing Muslims now. The last time they kill Muslims they where advise never to touch Muslims but only Christians. Sultan Of Sokoto is yet to condemn Jihadist attack on any Christian Community
