Villagers in Maikujera and Gidan Boy communities of Sokoto State confronted a gaggle of bandits on Friday, killing two of them and recovering stolen livestock.
The gunmen had earlier rustled cattle from Kabunga village in Kware Native Authorities Space and had been shifting towards Bakura city in Zamfara State when the villagers intercepted them.
In keeping with the report, courageous youths from the two communities engaged the bandits in what was described as a “fierce gun battle,” managing to recover cattle, rams and camels. A number of the bandits had been killed, whereas others escaped with gunshot wounds.
The recovered animals had been handed over to the Chairman of Rabah Native Authorities Space for checks and eventual return to their homeowners in Kabunga. Efforts to succeed in the chairman had been unsuccessful.
