He said that following a distress call by the residents, troops of Operation Hadarin Daji were mobilised and pursued them, killing some of the bandits in the process.

Confirming the development, the spokesman for the Nigerian Police Force, Sokoto State command, ASP Ahmed Rufa’i, said from the last information he got from the village, seven persons were already confirmed dead with the possibility of the figures rising.

He, however, promised to get back once the investigation is completed.
