Imam, 10 Worshippers Kidnapped By Gunmen In Sokoto Mosque Attack
At least 10 persons and an imam have been kidnapped by gunmen in an attack on a mosque in Bushe community, Sabon Birni LGA of Sokoto state.
The suspected bandits invaded the mosque on Thursday morning as worshippers performed the Subhi prayer.
Residents told Channels Television that the community has been under siege by bandits despite the presence of security operatives.
However, they said troops swiftly repelled the attackers and prevented further damage.
Ahmed Rufai, spokesperson for the Sokoto police command, confirmed the incident. He however said he could not ascertain the number of abductees due to telecommunication challenges in the area.
“Yes, the incident happened, but I can’t confirm the number of victims,” he said.
“I don’t have any update on the incident as I haven’t been able to reach the officer in charge for an update. There is a network problem in the area.”
