Residents of Kebbe town in Kebbe Local Government Area of Sokoto State are facing heightened security concerns following a reported demand by suspected bandits for a N40 million levy.
The gunmen allegedly threatened to kill residents and burn down the town if the money was not paid within a stipulated deadline.
According to information shared by Crisis Reporter Bakastine via his X handle, the bandits conveyed the demand through a farmer, who delivered a telephone handset to the District Head of Kebbe, Mallam Lawal Labbo.
The bandits reportedly initially gave the community five days to raise the money but later extended the deadline to seven days following appeals from residents.
