“The bandits killed at least 20 people in large numbers, whom we saw and counted, and set 9 vehicles on fire,” said Idris Gobir, special adviser to the Minister of Police Affairs of Sokoto.
He also said that armed bandits rode motorcycles and occasionally shot, killing several people.
In the northwest of Nigeria, since December last year, there has been a wave of kidnappings of schoolchildren and villagers for ransom by bandits, disrupting the daily life of millions of citizens.
