End killings in Sokoto, others

- Abdullahi Umar writes from Sokoto

Bandits recently attacked Sabo Birni LGA of Sokoto State killing over 70 inhabitant­s. The latest killing in Sokoto is in continuati­on of the orgy of bloodletti­ng that has been witnessed across some other states in the North West and North Central.

Communitie­s in Katsina, Zamfara, Kaduna and Niger states had recently witnessed killings by bandits.

These killings are getting out of hand and it is time the government rose to the occasion to end it.

I commiserat­e with the government and people of Sokoto State over this sad incident and pray God to grant families of the deceased fortitude to bear the losses.
