The attack was a reprisal as there had been tension since Yan Sakai, an outlawed vigilance group killed 11 men at Mamande’s weekly market on Thursday.

At least 19 traders were killed by bandits who raided a weekly market at Unguwan Lalle in the Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State on Friday.

Five soldiers who were on a rescue mission in the area were ambushed and killed by bandits few months ago.Unguwan Lalle market is among the popular markets in the eastern part of Sokoto state and is being patronised by traders from different parts of the state and from Zamfara, Kebbi and neighbouring Niger Republic.

The attackers reportedly stormed the market shortly after all the traders had returned from the Juma’at congregational prayers.“I counted about 19 bodies and many were still unaccounted for,” the witness said. Gobir, who witnessed the burial of the two brothers, noted that traders from different places were killed by the attackers.

So what's your point ‽

Dog eat dog in the north as things get out of hand.

If all these news are real, I think the north deliberately wants to reduce their population not that they are not aware of what they are doing or that they doesn't know what to do

To put the FEAR in the enemy was why many voted buhari intead him entering boasted there morale' . Wonder why!!!

Not enough, let them bom sokoto.

No froblem

Too bad

Didn't Oga Liar Mohammed say NigeriaGov is winning the war on terror? OK, sorry these ones are bandits.

Anambra get ready for your State of Emergency

Malami should declare state of emergency in sokoto, Kaduna and Zamfara states where killings is happening everyday.

They’re terrorist not bandits…cronies to the present administration and allies.

Southern states should get their security men ready...we must defend our lands from Fulani jihadist

No state of Emergency... Nigeria is a joke...

Don’t worry this one happened before the new equipment for insecurity.

State of emergency

Let Buhari’s send all army to Biafrans land while the terrorist takes over the northern zoo Nigeria

This is a shameful act of leadership and we experiencing mostly in the north where we hve such greedy leaders and unmercy leaders that cares nobody except them&their family we pray for Allah to look at them the ways the looks us.

My question is when are they going to invade the caliphate

There's nothing like bandits, they're terrorist.

Buhari over to you. After all you are the president and you pledged to keep us all safe under the constitution. How far?

Where is the meat head threatening to tackle all violence?

💔

Let the killing continue ⏩... e consign dem ni

This might be IPOB..Please federal government declare STATE OF EMERGENCY IN SOKOTO. EndNigeriaNowToSaveLives

realFFK, so why are you not talking about this and posting the video? You posted a recycled and fake video today on Twitter and deleted it after you were exposed for posting fake videos.

Ours is far more better we are sitting at home

Stop embarrassing the govt

Federal government is more concerned about the welfare of Boko Haram 'repentant' than it is about the Nigerian soldiers and their families. HQNigerianArmy . renoomokri DailyPostNGR

You are still calling them bandits when it’s clear it was reprisal attack. Funny enough the women they killed didn’t do anything

NextLevel Next Story please

These bandits still live in the bush? Thought they have captured enough territories in the North to constitute an LGA of Fulanis.

Sai buhari!

I hate hearing this When ll it stop 🛑 Amry, police and airforce put an end 🔚 to this

Declare state of emergency in the North MBuhari NGRPresident why all this quietness WhiteHouse SecBlinken POTUS Europarl_EN every thing is not about interest UKHouseofLords UKParliament HouseofCommons hrw StateDRL CNN

Why wait for people to get home right? Does anybody in govt believe in God anymore? If you believe in God and don't realize the Nigeria you lead will be a BIG part of your scorecard, then you don't understand how this game of life is supposed to go.

No state of emergency here

Normal level

Sunday Igboho and Nnamdi kanu are not Nigeria problem but our clueless and senseless political leaders

Fake news, they did not kill anyone. They only sent them to continue their business in another town. Sahara reporters are the enemies of Buhari, like Twitter they meddle into Govt issues too much. Sai Baba for life president.( Awon alakori,shey na south be Una problem)

Na lie, Sokoto is peaceful, while some Animals in uniform are busy dancing golden dance in s/east

And malami has not declared state of emergency in Sokoto ooo!

Okay !

You won't see South East Otelectuals here! They we go deaf, dumb and blind. Otelectuals for a reason!!

I just read someone a while ago, trying to be convincing in his article that bandits are misunderstood . If people defend their predators like this, this the news you will continue to read. This bunch needs to know that actions have consequences if not theirs no end it.

I pray for the bandit may they increase in attacks

And their colleagues with official uniforms are busy in the East, arresting and killing anyone wearing Biafran colours. Lugard it will not be better for you even in HELL
