Unidentified gunmen have reportedly kidnapped seven travellers in the Sabon Borno area of Sokoto State.
Zagazola Makama, a counterinsurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, reported that the gunmen intercepted a commercial vehicle near Chin Golf Village early Tuesday morning.
According to the publication, the victims, comprising six women and a driver, were forced out of the vehicle and taken into the forest.
The report suggested that the gunmen are suspected to be associates of Turji Bello, a notorious bandit leader.
Efforts to reach the Sokoto State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Ahmed Rufa’i, proved abortive as he did not respond to calls made.
