Police in Sokoto prevent a planned bandit attack on Tsabre community in Isa Local Government Area. According to multiple reports, armed men invade the village shortly after 1:00 a.m., open sporadic gunfire, and trigger panic among residents before the attackers flee.
The Sokoto State Police Command says officers recover two rocket launchers and other items left behind at the scene following the incident. One report describes a gun battle between police and the attackers, while another focuses on the recovery of the weapons after the attackers’ withdrawal. Both accounts attribute the event to bandit activity in the area and present the police intervention as the reason the attack does not succeed.
Across outlets, the key details—location in Isa LGA, the timing in the early hours of Friday, the attempted attack on Tsabre village, and the recovery of two rocket launchers—are consistent.
