A group of terrorists, dubbed as bandits, have abducted several Muslim worshippers during the early morning (Subhi) prayer in the Bushe community, Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
The Nigerian Police Force, Sokoto State Command spokesperson, DSP Ahmed Rufai, confirmed the attack.
“I just confirmed the incident from the DPO of the community when I spoke with him on the telephone,” Rufai said.
“I want to assure you that the Nigeria Police, in conjunction with other security agencies, are working tirelessly to ensure the immediate release of all the abductees.”
It was gathered that gunmen stormed a mosque in Bushe town at dawn on Thursday, abducting at least 10 worshippers, including the Imam.
A local source from the community revealed that the attack occurred while worshippers were performing their early morning Subhi prayer.
