Chief Imam, 10 Others Kidnapped In Sokoto During Prayers
The assailants also blocked the Sabon Birni-Gatawa Road on Saturday, shot three persons and kidnapped seven others.


Bandits have kidnapped 11 persons including a chief imam, Aminu Garba, who was preparing to lead Juma’at congregational prayer at Gatawa Village in Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

The Imam was kidnapped along with three others on Friday, a report by Daily Trust said.

The assailants also blocked the Sabon Birni-Gatawa Road on Saturday, shot three persons and kidnapped seven others.


The member representing Sabon Birni South Constituency in the state's House of Assembly, Sa’idu Ibrahim, who confirmed the attack, said the injured persons were currently receiving treatment at a hospital in Wamakko.

He said another woman, who was shot at Dama Village, had her leg amputated because it could not be fixed.

When contacted, spokesperson for the Sokoto Police Command, ASP Sanusi Abubakar, said he would contact the officer in charge of the area and get back to our reporter but he had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report. 

SaharaReporters had earlier reported that President Muhammadu Buhari vowed that his regime would flush out bandits from the country.

Buhari had given the assurance on Friday when a Nigerian Government delegation paid a visit to Governor Aminu Tambuwal over the killing of 23 travellers by suspected bandits.

You can't be a sharia advocate and fight bandits.

If you don't gerit baba forgerit

Only ten people, imam and 3 deaths ?
That makes today a peaceful day in sokoto. Thank god

Liars at it again. North that is so peaceful? Their leaders can even testify.

Probably by the bandits in his mosque

If muslims and Islam isn't complicit in this crime when would the sultan of sokoto start suspending mosques harbouring these doctrines and it's Terrorists sheik e.g Gumi?

They have tax force to eradicate innovation

They have hisbah to implement eradication of innovation

Muslim uhuru about to be achieved

If a boisterous and handsome Emir can be kidnapped and reduced to vegetable after release, who be Chief Imam

Any Yoruba Muslims miscreants among them?, I need to check and help them

They only asked the Imams to come and do some prayers for them in the bush, at least them be Muslims too
