At least six people have been killed in an attack by bandits on Tudun Doki village in Gwadabawa Local Government Area of Sokoto State as Muslims celebrate Eid-el Kabir.
Ahmed Rufai, the spokesperson of the Sokoto State police command, who confirmed the attack, said it happened in the early hours of Sunday.
Rufai said six bodies were recovered after the attack, adding that the number of abducted people was yet to be established.
“The village is far from the main town. Accessing the village is very difficult because of the inability of vehicles to reach there. Most operatives go there on motorcycles.
“We are only able to receive reports about the six people confirmed dead. It happened in the early hours of today and people would be going to mosques, so we cannot proceed to the field. We had to get the six people to the hospital, where they were confirmed dead.
“As I speak to you now, the DPO and his men had been mobilised to ascertain the number of those abducted,” he explained.
