Armed bandits have reportedly attacked worshippers at a mosque in Marnona village, Wurno Local Government Area, killing one person and injuring several others. The incident, which occurred during early morning prayers, has heightened fears in the already volatile Sokoto East axis. According to eyewitnesses said the attackers, armed with sophisticated weapons, stormed the mosque in the early hours, opening fire indiscriminately on worshippers. The sudden raid forced residents to flee for safety as panic spread across the community. Confirming the development, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Sokoto State, Hon. Isah Sadeeq Achida, condemned the assault, describing it as barbaric and an act of cowardice.
