Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Gunmen suspected to be bandits, on Saturday, in Sokoto, reportedly killed 11 farmers in the Ghandi district of Rabah Local Government Area of the state.<\/p>\n

A source, who disclosed this, said the attackers stormed the community around 12 noon, shooting sporadically, to scare people and later killed farmers working on their farms.<\/p>\n

Confirming the killing on Saturday, the Secretary to the District Head of Ghandi, Tukur Muhammad said they met them on their farmlands and killed them for no reason.<\/p>\n

He said the bandits attempted to abduct other farmers but vigilantes foiled their plans.<\/p>\n

He said that eight of the farmers were killed at Kuryar village while three were killed in their neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t want us to work on our farm. They attack our farmers on daily basis. They also asked other villages to pay a levy before they can cultivate their farms and this is the only means of livelihood in our area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

DSP Sanusi Abubakar, Spokesman of the Sokoto State Police Command, when contacted, said he was in transit but he would find out and call back.<\/p>\n
