SOKOTO: Armed bandits have launched a deadly reprisal attack on farmers in Gandi community, Rabah Local Government Area of Sokoto State, killing no fewer than eight people and leaving five others with gunshot wounds.
The bloody assault, which occurred on Sunday afternoon, is believed to be linked to recent security operations in the area in which scores of suspected bandits were reportedly killed by security agencies.
