Some unidentified gunmen have
killed a 50-year old businessman, Alhaji Bello Danbuba and his teenage son, , in Gandi village, Rabah Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

away any camels or cash.

Police, Mr Mohammed Abdulkadir, had visited the bereaved town on Thursday.
”He had since directed the
deployment of more patrol teams in the local government and its neighbours,
with a view to tracking down the fleeing gunmen.
”The command had since launched a
manhunt for them, we will not relent until they are apprehended and brought to
book.”
