Security analyst and X user Bakatsine disclosed the attack on his verified handle on Tuesday, describing the incident as “sad news.”
“Last night, bandits invaded Makuawana town in Sabon-Birni LGA of Sokoto State, killing one person and abducting an unspecified number of residents,” he posted.
Bakatsine said the situation remains deeply concerning and called for urgent security intervention to protect lives, secure affected communities, and rescue those taken away.
