At least 15 people were reportedly killed on Wednesday afternoon when suspected members of the Lakurawa gang launched an attack on Kwallajiya village in Tangaza Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
A resident of the village, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told our correspondent that the assailants stormed the community without warning and unleashed terror on the inhabitants. The victims were laid to rest the same evening in accordance with Islamic rites.
“We are deeply troubled by the persistent violence and the hardship inflicted on innocent communities by these armed groups across the state,” the source lamented. “Sadly, some of these attacks are believed to be aided by informants within the affected communities. It’s crucial that residents step up collaboration with security agencies.”
