“Furthermore, efforts were being intensified by the State Government in collaboration with the Federal Government to tackle the activities of Lakurawa terrorists.

“As such, security is being beefed up in areas known to have members of Lakurawa.”

In an interview with one of the rescued victims, Malam Umar Isa Magajin Gatarawa said, “We were travelling from Isa to Sokoto when suddenly armed bandits emerged and blocked the road along Kwanar Mahalba.

“When the driver of the vehicle attempted to escape, the bandits fired at the tyres.

“While the passengers took to their heels into the bush to escape, the joint patrol team, which had been moving from one place to another, arrived, and the intensity of the exchange of fire forced the bandits to run away.

“Unfortunately, one of the passengers died from a gunshot in the crossfire.”
