But few poles to the Buttect House where Sokoto lives, we were confronted by some armed youths who pretended to be playing football on the street. They attacked us with gun and other dangerous weapon, while we were trying to engage them, Sokoto escaped into the crowd. We did not want to kill passers-by, that’s why we did not open fire.”
