According to Abdulsalam Suleiman Izuagbe, a senior consultant and public affairs analyst, who spoke with reporters on Thursday, the situation has made it unsafe for commuters to travel between Shinkafi and Sabon Birni.

“There is a war going on in Sabon Birni; Bello Turji is facing the Nigerian Army as I talk to you,” Izuagbe said. “They are exchanging fire in the Sabon Birni area. From Shinkafi to Sabon Birni is no longer safe for anybody to travel, as I’m presently speaking. To think it’s a normal business as usual is missing the point.”

As of the time of this report, ASP Sanusi Abubakar, the spokesperson for the Sokoto State Police Command, has not responded to calls or messages.
