Gunmen suspected to be bandits have attacked a mosque in Bushe community, Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto state.

During the attack, the bandits kidnapped no fewer than 10 worshippers, including the Imam.

Eyewitnesses told Channels Television that the gunmen invaded the mosque on Thursday while worshippers were performing their early morning Subhi prayer.

Residents said the gunmen had been molesting the people of the community for some time now, even with the presence of security agents.

They noted that the timely intervention of the security agents led by the troops of Nigerian Army, was able to curtail the activities of the gunmen.


The Sokoto State Police Command confirmed the attack on Friday.

The Command’s spokesman, Ahmed Rufai, said the police authorities were working with other security agencies to rescue the abducted victims.

A member of the Sokoto State House of Assembly, representing the Sabon Birni B state Constituency also confirmed the attack.


The lawmaker also commended the security agencies for their timely intervention.

Shari'a or hisbah will not say anything about it. But if the invasion of Sharia to the SW they will be making noise. I think they are enjoying the dividends of Shari'a.

Once upon a time, a lady was gruesomely murdered in broad day light with the criminals proudly displaying their identity. Deborah Samuel cried as her attackers threw stones at her until she died and her body burnt. The leaders and the people turned their faces. Now, the same has come to hunt them and they are asking questions.

I know many people dont understand this. The truth is that, extremists should not be tolerated. The Muslims tolerated the extremists behaviour when it had to do with a Christian but them same extremism has led to this and they are there crying but I laugh at their poor sense of judgement while I am pained by their predicament.

Say No to extremism today! It could be Deborah Samuel today and Abukar Muhammed tomorrow.
