Bandits Reportedly Slit Throats Of Nine Vigilante Members After Abducting Wives In Sokoto State

At least 10 persons have been reported killed by bandits in Sokoto State, Northwest, Nigeria.

SaharaReporters learnt that the terrorists stormed Dantudu Lajinge village in the Sabon Birni Local Government Area and slit the throat of nine persons, identified as members of the community's local security outfit, known as vigilante.

The wives of the slain persons were reportedly abducted while the remains of their spouses lay in the pool of blood.

The incident happened on Monday, according to some villagers who escaped the mayhem.

There are however conflicting reports as to how the victims were murdered.

Bello Dan-Tudu, a resident of the village told SaharaReporters that, "they targeted members of our vigilante group and slaughtered nine of them like ordinary rams."

However, another resident who pleaded to be anonymous said the 10 persons were shot in the neck at close range, adding that the tenth person survived and is receiving medication at a hospital.

The Chairman of Sabon Birni Local Government Council, Ayuba Hamisu, has also confirmed the attack and fatalities.

"It happened while I was attending a function in Abuja; they killed nine of our people. I've just suspended further engagements here and heading back home right away to be with my people," Hamisu said.

The spokesperson for the Sokoto State Police Command, Rufai Ahmad, did not answer repeated calls, just as he did not reply to a text message sent to him for a confirmation as of the time of the report.

No noise but if it was tax issue, noise all over. Same north that wastes public fund on hajj and mosques, suddenly sees tax reform as a move to impoverish them. Banditry is the least of their problems.

Life is nothing to a lot of people from that try.be

Tinubu's tax reform is cheating for the rest of the states aside Lagos.

Lagos has monopoly over many things and except it's decentralised, that tax reform is bound to fail

Say no to Tax reform

Are there good people in that State,they should get those women out.

Their husbands died for defending the people,their family should not suffer for it while the bandits live in peace with the women in perpetual torture

Whoever has any power in the matter should use it for good for the sake of those women.
