A security expert, Zagazola Makama, has reported that more than 150 suspected bandits drowned after a boat carrying them capsized in Sokoto State’s Sabon Gida area.
Citing local sources, Makama said the incident occurred Saturday evening when the vessel, carrying a large number of armed men, overturned while crossing a water body in the area.
The bandits were reportedly travelling in large numbers when the boat suddenly capsized, throwing all occupants into the water.
Preliminary reports indicated that none of the occupants survived the incident, though there was no official confirmation from security agencies at the time of filing this report.
If confirmed, the development could deal a significant blow to criminal groups operating in parts of the North-West region.
