No fewer than 25 persons have been killed in fresh gunmen attack on two villages in Sokoto State.
This was revealed by a stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party at the venue of the party’s campaign for the 2019 elections in Goronyo town, Goronyo Local Government Area of the state.
According to the party chieftain, the two villages attacked by the gunmen were located in Rabbah Local Government Area.

The PDP chieftain said: “I have been directed to inform you that there is a fresh attack in Rabbah town where bandits have killed scores of people.
“Governor Aminu Tambuwal is on his way to Goronyo now.
“He is not coming to campaign again.”
