Suspected bandits, Sunday evening, reportedly stormed and opened fire in a market in Goronyo local government area of Sokoto State killing several people.
According to reports, the bandits came in their large numbers using motorcycles for the operation when people were already preparing to return to their homes after the day’s business activities.
