However, when contacted, Ahmad Rufai, the spokesperson of the police in Sokoto state, said he only read the news of Dogo Gide’s death on social media platforms.

Daily Trust quoted him as saying:

“Having read it on social media, I made an inquiry from our command because I am not in town, but the response I got did not confirm that the terrorist died in a private hospital in Mabera, Sokoto.

“Whatever may be the case, I will communicate with you as soon as I get details of the incident.”
