Suspected bandits have killed four farmers and abducted at least 12 others in a daylight attack on Ghandi District in the Rabah Local Government Area of Sokoto State, heightening concerns over the persistent insecurity in the eastern part of the state.
The attack reportedly occurred on Tuesday while the victims were working on farmlands on the outskirts of the community.
Confirming the incident, a resident, Malam Ibrahim Umar Ghandi, said the attack happened near his farmland, which he had stopped cultivating because of recurring security threats.
“It was close to my farmland where the attack occurred. Because the land is located on the outskirts of Ghandi, I stopped cultivating it. However, some of my relatives sought my permission to use the land, which I granted,” he said.
