The incident, which has sparked widespread concern, reportedly saw the villagers band together in large numbers, determined to track down the bandits who have terrorized their Sokoto community. The mass mobilization was captured in a trending video that shows men, women, and even youths, marching into the dense forested areas that serve as hideouts for the kidnappers.
