 Gunmen kidnap imam, 10 worshippers 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.

“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.”
