Bandits have reportedly abducted a group of Tsangaya students at Gidan Bakuso in Gada local government area of Sokoto state. The school proprietor, Liman Abubakar, stated that the students were taken from their school premises around 1:00 am on Saturday, March 9. Abubakar mentioned that 15 students are currently missing, and they are still attempting to determine the exact number of missing individuals.

The bandits allegedly attacked the town at 1:00 am, injuring one person and abducting a woman. This incident is not the first time the village has been targeted by bandits, according to Abubakar.

Kabiru Dauda, the representative for Gada-East Constituency in the state House of Assembly, verified the attack, noting that he was informed about it by the village at 2:00 am. Additionally, Habibu Modachi, the representative for Isa Constituency, supported the occurrence and speculated that it may have been in retaliation for recent security operations targeting bandit hideouts two days prior.
