Terrorists push Sokoto authorities to close schools. Officials ordered public primary and secondary schools outside the state capital to shut down on Monday.
The decision comes after attacks in Rabah and Sabon Birni local government areas. Terrorists killed 11 people in those assaults.
Residents report the violence targets communities and disrupts daily life.
Education officials follow a directive to protect students and staff.
Schools in Sokoto North, Sokoto South, and a few selected areas stay open. All others remain closed until further notice.
This step adds to a pattern across northern Nigeria.
Terrorists drive similar closures in other states and leave many children without classes.
Families now search for alternatives while security forces work to restore calm in the region.
Authorities say they will reopen the schools when the situation improves.
For now, thousands of students stay home.
