BREAKING: Terrorists Attack Sokoto Communities After Heavy Rainfall, Kill Five Residents, Abduct Others After Looting Houses A community source told SaharaReporters that the attack on Dinawa began at about 10:30 p.m., with the bandits moving from house to house, looting valuables and destroying properties.
A coordinated terrorist attack in three Sokoto communities, Dinawa, Munƙi, and Gidan Dare, resulted in five deaths and several abductions. The assailants struck at around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday night, taking advantage of heavy rainfall that forced residents to seek shelter. The bandits moved house-to-house, looting valuables and destroying property in Dinawa, according to community sources. They also reportedly abducted an unspecified number of people and rustled cattle in Munƙi and Gidan Dare.
The attacks occurred as the communities grappled with ongoing fears of banditry and kidnappings. The exact number of abducted residents remains unclear as families continue to account for their missing loved ones. The bodies of the five deceased victims were to be buried according to Islamic rites on Wednesday morning, with the community mourning the loss of these residents who were simply trying to stay safe during the storm.
