Fourteen persons, who were abducted by bandits, have escaped their camp in Sokoto State.
Sources said the victims escaped from the camp in Suruddubu in Isa Local Government Area on Saturday when their captors went out for other ‘operations’.
The Chairman of the LGA, Abubakar Yusuf, confirmed the development to newsmen.
Yusuf said eight of the escapees are from Sabon Birni Local Government Area while three are from Isa Local Government Area, both in Sokoto State while the remaining three are from Kaura Namoda Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
He said, “Yes. They’ve been taken to the General Hospital in Isa for medical check up and would be sent home. We are happy that they are gradually escaping and we will keep praying and supporting our troops to win against these people (bandits).”
Yusuf added that he had ordered the hospital to give urgent medical attention to those wounded by the bandits and those who escape from their abductors.
