Monday, May 26, 2025 - Armed bandits suspected to be members of the Lakurawa terrorists have launched a large-scale attack on Alela village in Sokoto State, setting houses ablaze and rustling an unspecified number of livestock.
Zagazola Makama, a counter insurgency expert and security
analyst in the Lake Chad region, made this known in a post on his X account on
Sunday.
Makama disclosed that the attack occurred at about 7:00
p.m., with the assailants reportedly numbering in their hundreds and riding on
approximately 50 motorcycles.
“Eyewitnesses said the bandits stormed the village in a
coordinated assault, firing sporadically to scare residents before burning down
several homes and fleeing with domestic animals,” Makama said.
He added that security operatives have been mobilized to the
area and efforts are ongoing to track down the fleeing attackers.
