A fresh wave of violence has struck Sokoto State as armed bandits launched a current, ongoing attack on Kurawa community in Sabon-Birni Local Government Area, sparking widespread fear among residents and urgent calls for government intervention.
The assault, which was reported late on Wednesday, has thrown the community into panic as locals scramble for safety. While details of casualties or damage remain unclear, the attack underscores the unrelenting insecurity plaguing many rural communities in the North-West.
Concerned citizens quickly raised the alarm on social media, tagging security agencies and government officials in frantic appeals for help. One of the reports read, “Bandits currently are attacking Kurawa community in Sabon-Birni LGA, Sokoto State. Hopefully, authorities will do the needful.”
The situation highlights the persistent vulnerability of border communities and the urgent need for swift, coordinated response from security operatives. Residents in Sabon-Birni — a hotspot for repeated bandit attacks — continue to live under the constant threat of violence, with little reprieve in sight.
As of the time of this report, security agencies have yet to issue an official statement, and reinforcements are being anxiously awaited.
The latest attack exposes the long-standing gap in rural security architecture, the slow pace of emergency response, and the growing boldness of armed criminal groups operating across the Sokoto axis. Without decisive intervention, residents fear the violence could escalate further.
