The Sokoto State Police Command has confirmed the kidnapping of multiple Muslim worshippers during the early morning (Subhi) prayer in the Bushe community, located within the Sabon Birni Local Government Area.
The command’s spokesperson, DSP Ahmed Rufai, confirmed the incident and said that police were collaborating with other security agencies to rescue the abducted victims.
According to reports, assailants invaded a mosque in Bushe town at dawn on Thursday, seizing at least 10 worshippers, including the Imam.
