Armed men suspected to be bandits have reportedly killed four persons and rustled several livestock in the eastern part of Sokoto state.<\/p>\n

This tragic incident has made some communities in the eastern part of Sokoto state to be deserted as residents fled their residence over fear.<\/p>\n

Confirming the attacks,\u00a0Colonel Garba Moyi (Rtd), the state Commissioner for Carrier and Security Matters said three persons were killed at Bargaja village in Isa local government area while one was killed in a community under Sabon Birni local government.<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that the armed\u00a0bandits invaded Bargaja around 2pm on Thursday, shooting sporadically.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the incident, a resident disclosed that\u00a0six persons were shot in the village, but only three died while the remaining three are currently receiving treatment in the hospitals.<\/p>\n

A resident who also identified himself as Surajo said that inhabitants of Bargaja, Tozai, Turba and Danzanke have all relocated to Isa town following series of attacks<\/a> on their villages.<\/p>\n

“They don\u2019t sleep in their places any more. Only some of their men who have farmlands nearer to the village go back every morning to work on them and rush back to Isa town before sun set,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Another resident, who sought for anonymity, said one person was killed on Friday at Adamawa village.<\/p>\n

A resident identified as Malam Sanusi Gatawa told Daily Trust that Gatawa in Sabon Birni local government is now flooded with refugees from neighbouring villages\u00a0including Makera, Dankura, Burkusuma, Kumaro, Garin Tunkiya, Zangon Malam and Asha Banza among others.<\/p>\n

He stated that one Malam Bilya Idris otherwise known as Idi Gago was killed at Dankura village and Malam Abdulmajid Abdurrahman, Muhammadu Hatimu and Yazzid Sa\u2019idu lost their lives during Zangon Malam\u2019s attack some weeks ago.<\/p>\n

However, the commissioner explained that the attacks were made by the splinter groups of those gangs that already embraced peace with the government and they were meant to rustled animals not to kill the villagers.<\/p>\n

He explained that most of the people killed were either members of the vigilante group or those who lost their animals and decided to pursue the bandits.<\/p>\n

“That is why we don\u2019t encourage the villagers to engage them because we have our own ways of recovering whatever they have stolen. We use their brothers who embraced peace to recover the animals and even their weapons as well as secure release of kidnapped victims,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that over 20 weapons had been recovered from the bandits while many captives have been freed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
