Sokoto State has witnessed a tragic boat accident involving several residents fleeing attacks by Lukarawa bandits. Scores of people reportedly drowned while trying to escape the violent terror unleashed by the group.

According to local sources and eyewitnesses, the victims were crossing a river in overcrowded boats when the vessels capsized, leading to the loss of many lives. The fleeing residents were reportedly escaping Lukarawa terrorists who have been terrorizing communities in the region.

Rescue efforts by security operatives and local volunteers are ongoing, with some survivors being treated for injuries. The Sokoto State Government has expressed deep concern over the incident and has called for heightened security measures to protect vulnerable communities from the bandit menace.

The police and military have intensified operations against Lukarawa terrorists, but the continuous violence is causing panic and displacement among residents.

This tragic accident highlights the urgent need for improved security and support for victims of banditry in Sokoto and the broader Northwest.
