Bandits have killed nine persons and many others injured, in an attack on Bejingo, Dantudu, and Tulutu villages in Birjin ward, Goronyo Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
The bandits who attacked the villages on Saturday, raiding houses, also rustled an unspecified number of animals including sheep, goats, and cattle, forcing a number of villagers to flee their homes and take refuge with relations in neighbouring communities.
Sokoto, a state in Nigeria’s north-western region, has had its fair share of banditry and kidnapping for ransom.
Late last month, bandits killed two people and abducted over 60 travelers along the Sokoto-Gusau highway.
