An 82-year-old district head of Balle, Gudu Local Government Area of Sokoto State, Ibrahim Aliyu has been killed by armed bandits.

The district head was reportedly killed after gunmen came on six motorcycles and rapidly set the divisional police headquarters in the area, patrol cars and some personal vehicles on fire.

According to Daily Trust, an unidentified policeman was also gunned down along Karfen Sarki area.

An eyewitness said the attackers invaded the area around 4pm on Tuesday and continued wreaking havoc until some minutes after 5pm.

“The whole area was thrown into commotion with people fleeing into the nearby bush for safety including my wives and children, the attackers stormed the house of the district head after setting the police station on fire.

“They scaled through the fence of the house because it was locked, dragged the district head, who was at the time resting in his room, outside and shot him dead.

“It is like they came with a mission to attack the station and kill the district head and we are suspecting they were led by an insider who is conversant with the area because this is the first time we experienced such an attack,” he said.

Honourable Faruk Balle, member representing the area at the State House of Assembly, who confirming the attack, said they were all shocked because Balle used to be the most peaceful area in the state.

He called on the government to take decisive measures that would end banditry in the country.

The late district head is survived by two wives, eight children and many grand children. He has been buried in accordance with Islamic rites.

Baba,sympathise with them nah.....instead you turn Adele...

When these people were attacking
the middle belt & southerners, the
northerners were supporting them.

The chickens have now come home
to roost.

Fulani are not loyal to anyone but to
their cows & selfish, bloodthirsty interests. Hausa
and fellow Fulanis can now testify to that.

if knowing how to play politics is this type played by north then I do not wish to know how to play politics.
every day killings and violence with no hope in sight.

NIGERIA WILL PAY HEAVILY FOR CALLING HARDWORKING IGBOS TERRORISTS.

THEY CALLED IPOB TERRORISTS WHEN THEY COULD NOT PROVE THAT IPOB HAVE KILLED EVEN A FOUL.


THEY SEE MUSLIM TERRORISTS AND CALLED THEM BANDITS AND FREEDOM FIGHTERS.....


IGBOS CAN NEVER BE COWED.

Next Level joooooo��

Lol, I laugh in Macedonia language, l got a first hand information recently from a mutual business associates in Rwanda about how some fanatics and fundamentalist wanted to forement and cause trouble in the country, he said before they even woke up from sleep to deliberate on causing wahala, intelligence report got to the Central government of Rwanda and all those involved / connected with the planned disruption of the peace of the country were all arrested and they will not smell freedom again

l asked him over the phone if they will release the Muslim fanatics, he laughed and said that President Kagame does not tolerate bulshit from criminals, terrorist, armed banditry, robbers etc those arrested might either die in jail or remain there forever, that is what a responsible government should do

As long as all the various armed bandits across the country are treated with kid gloves, Nigeria will continue to remain under a siege to all these bastards, it all boils down to effective leadership to map out strategic plans to be a step ahead of all this banditry across the country but unfortunately, Nigeria leaders are drinking burukutu in Abuja and the country continues to slide into one of the unsafest country to live on earth

From BH_Fulani herdsmen_militias and now Bandits.

Gradually coming down to the south... hmmm

Kai! the same Sokoto that I used to cherish in the early 90s?

Next level bandits....
