Bandits kill scores in Sokoto over refusal to pay levies
Over fifty persons were reportedly killed in two local governments areas of Sokoto State after gruesome attacks by bandits on Saturday evening.
The affected local governments area includes Gwadabawa and Tangaza local government areas of the state.
Sokoto Police Command PPRO, ASP Ahmad Rufa’i, who later confirmed the attacks on Sunday, assured that the command is on top of the situation and promised to give update on the attacks.
Hours after the attack on three communities in Tangaza local government area of Sokoto state, corpses of 37 persons were yet to be buried.
The communities attacked on Saturday evening are Raka, Raka Dutse, and Filin Gawa in Tangaza local government area.
The immediate past local government chairman of Tangazaa, Bshar Kalenjeni also confirmed the attacks saying 18 persons were killed at Raka, 17 at Filin Gawa and two at Raka Dutse.
In his narration, Kalenjeni said, “the bandits sometimes impose levies on the communities to be paid within a stipulated time and also want to be dictating to the residents on what to do.
“The offence of the villagers was their refusal to pay the levies imposed on their communities and succumb to the bandits threat.
“Angered by the villagers bold face, the bandits struck Saturday evening, killing 37 persons while several others with various degrees of gunshot injuries are currently receiving treatment at General Hospital, Gwadabawa.
“We wanted to bury those killed in the night but the bandits came back and dispersed us. As at this morning, the deceased are still there, yet to be buried.
“As this moment I am talking to you, we are waiting for security operatives to lead us to the villages in order to bury the dead ones and comb the surrounding areas in search of those missing.”
Speaking with our correspondent, a source in Gwadabawa local government, said, “some of the bandits were already in the town unknown to residents of the affected communities before others arrived in the evening to strike.
“The operation started after evening prayer where they attacked the two most populous villages of Sakamaru and Bilingawa, simultaneously.
“In Bilingawa, not less than 18 people were killed with Sakamaru being the worst, where scores of people were slaughtered and others killed in gunshot.
“After killing them, they set their corpses and that of their animals on fire by ensuring that most of them were burnt beyond recognition” he said.






Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at blog66foreign confirmed that permanent status, the difference between durable bookmarks and ephemeral ones is something I have learned to feel quickly and this site triggered the durable feeling almost immediately during my first read here.
Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at blog33participant extended that respect for readers, content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.
Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at blog33director added more details to think about, this is exactly the kind of content I bookmark for future reference rather than the throwaway listicles that dominate most search results these days for almost any common topic.
Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at marqesta confirmed the rotation upgrade, the move from passive discovery to active checking is a vote of confidence in a sites ongoing quality and this site has earned that active engagement clearly.
Now recognising that the post handled the topic with appropriate technical precision without becoming dry, and a stop at watchwhisper continued that balance, technical precision and readability are often in tension and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain both at once which is one of the harder editorial achievements in the form.
Glad the writer kept this short rather than padding it out, the points stand on their own without needing extra context, and a look at orbitopal kept the same approach going, brevity is a sign of confidence in the substance and the team here clearly trusts their content to land without filler.
Now planning to recommend this site in a context where my recommendations are taken seriously, and a stop at winkworthy confirmed I should make that recommendation soon, the small but real act of recommending content into spaces where my taste matters is something I take seriously and this site is worth the recommendation.
Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at prismvane confirmed the pattern, the difference between sites that hit quality occasionally and sites that hit it consistently is huge and this site has clearly demonstrated the consistent kind through what I have read this morning.
The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at proteapex added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.
Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to basketbliss only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.
Now understanding why someone recommended this site to me a while back, and a stop at makermerchant explained the recommendation, sometimes recommendations make sense only after experience and this site has finally clicked into place as the kind of resource I now understand was being recommended for sound editorial reasons by my friend.
Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at charmchoice kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.
Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to luxfable only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.
Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at jessicavaughn similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.
In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at crystalcorner2 extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.
Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at devgrove confirmed the same understated polish, sites whose quality reveals itself slowly rather than announcing itself loudly are the kind I trust more deeply because the trust is not based on first impressions of marketing but actual substance.
Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at devspring continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.
Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at gemgalleria only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.
Worth recognising the absence of the usual blog tropes here, and a look at pointport continued that fresh quality, sites that avoid the standard moves of the medium read as more original even when the content is on familiar topics and this one has clearly chosen its own path through the conventional terrain skilfully.
Now sitting with the thoughts the post triggered rather than rushing on to the next thing, and a stop at appcreek extended that reflective pause, content that earns time for thought after closing the tab is content of higher value than the merely interesting and this site has clearly produced that lasting effect today.
A thoughtful piece that did not strain to be thoughtful, and a look at tracerunway continued that effortless quality, when thinking shows up in writing without the writer drawing attention to it you know you are reading something genuinely considered rather than something performing the appearance of consideration which is also common online.
Reading this on the train into work was a better use of the commute than my usual choices, and a stop at appthrive extended that commute reading well, content that improves transit time rather than just filling it is content with practical benefit and this site has earned its place in my morning commute reading rotation.
Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at solidrunway extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.
Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at thrivenet only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.
Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at kodekey extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.
A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at blog33quickly continued that calibration, alignment between promise and delivery is a basic editorial virtue that many sites fail at and this site has clearly mastered the matching of expectation and substance throughout pieces.
Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at cinnamoncorner did the same, the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.
Solid post, the structure is easy to follow and the language stays simple even when the topic gets a bit more involved, and a look at auracrest kept that same standard going, so I left feeling like the time spent here was actually worth something for once which is rare lately.
Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at atticamber continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.
Decided after reading this that I would check this site weekly going forward, and a stop at swiftstall reinforced that commitment, deciding to add a site to a regular rotation requires meeting a quality bar that very few places clear and this one cleared it cleanly without any noticeable effort or marketing push behind it.
Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at linkloomshop continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.
Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at blog66chances continued that documented care, content with traceable claims rather than vague assertions is the kind I trust and the lack of bald assertion in this post is one of its quietly impressive qualities for me.
Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at blog44happy produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.
Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at gridgen prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.
Looking through other posts here the consistency is what makes the site valuable rather than any single piece, and a stop at jenvoria extended that consistency observation, sites whose value lies in the ongoing pattern rather than in standout posts are sites I trust more deeply and this one has clearly built that kind of trust.
Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at orderomni added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.
Started a draft response in my head and ended without publishing it because the post said it well enough, and a look at belvarin produced the same effect, content that satisfies my urge to add to it by being complete enough on its own is rare and represents a particular kind of editorial completeness here.
Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at craftcabin added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.
Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at nauticalnook also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.
Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at xacttrove continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.
Quietly the post solved something I had been turning over without quite knowing how to phrase the question, and a look at ciphercart extended that quiet solving, content that addresses unformulated needs is content with reader insight and this site has demonstrated that insight at a high rate across the pieces I have read recently.
Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at sitefixstation continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.
Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at argonarmor kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at quasarqube extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.
Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at blog44various reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.
A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at triptides extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.
Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at zaxiszoom reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.
Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after medimarkt I was sure I would come back, that does not happen often when most sites bury the useful parts under endless ads and pop ups today and across most categories online.
Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at workflowsupply continued that clarity into related areas, when a writer gets the level of explanation right the reader does the heavy lifting themselves and the post just enables it.
Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at plantplaza extended the search frustration, the rare site that does what no other does in quite the same way is precious and this one has clearly developed a particular approach that I have not been able to find duplicates of.
