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.

  1. A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at deltastack extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.

  2. More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at vpnreview kept that quality consistent, this is one of those sites where the writing actually rewards careful reading rather than punishing the patient reader with empty filler stretched out across long paragraphs that say very little.

  3. Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at peonyport 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.

  4. Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at blog44however maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.

  5. Now wishing I had found this site sooner, and a look at logiclane extended that mild regret, the calculation of how many years of good content I missed by not finding the right sources earlier is one I try not to make too often but it does come up sometimes when I find sites this good.

  6. Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic, that is my honest take, and a stop at blog33pain reinforces that, the kind of generous resource that makes the open web feel worth defending against the constant pressure to retreat into walled gardens and curated feeds today everywhere I look across all my devices.

  7. Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at invoiceisle pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.

  8. One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at blog44worker added even more weight to that impression, this is genuinely good content that holds its own against far better known sites in the same space without trying to imitate any of them at all which I appreciate.

  9. Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at speedboostshop extended that quiet win, the cumulative effect of small reading wins versus the cumulative effect of small reading losses is real over time and this site is contributing to the wins side of that ledger.

  10. Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at partyparlor reflected that same care, a rare thing on the open web these days where most pages exist for clicks rather than actual reader value or anything close to that which is honestly a real shame.

  11. Thanks for the moderate length, neither so short it skips substance nor so long it bloats, and a stop at devorchard hit the same balance, the right length is one of the hardest things to calibrate in blog writing and I appreciate when a team has clearly thought about it rather than defaulting.

  12. The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at pillowpier kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.

  13. Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at palvion continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.

  14. Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at graphflow extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.

  15. Appreciated the way each section connected smoothly to the next without abrupt jumps, and a stop at jubaylstore kept that flow going nicely, transitions are something most blog writers ignore but the difference is huge for the reader who is trying to follow a sustained line of thought today across many different topics.

  16. Walked away with a clearer head than I had before reading this, and a quick visit to jerrybell only sharpened that, the writing has a way of cutting through the noise that surrounds most topics online which is something I will definitely remember the next time I am searching for an answer to anything.

  17. Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at wellnesswharf 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.

  18. If a friend asked me where to read carefully on the topic I would send them here without hesitation, and a look at versaspot confirmed the recommendation strength, the directness of my recommendation reflects how confident I am in the quality and this site has earned undiluted recommendations from me across multiple recent conversations actually.

  19. Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at pixelgrid only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.

  20. Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after betabright I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.

  21. Adding this site to my regular reading list, the post earned that on its own, and a quick stop at appwealth sealed the decision, the kind of place worth checking back with from time to time because it consistently produces material that holds up against a critical reading too which I really value.

  22. I came here looking for a quick answer and ended up reading the whole post because it was actually interesting, and after blog44around I had a much fuller picture, no stress and no confusion just a clear walk through the topic that made everything fall into place without much effort.

  23. Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at drboostlab added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.

  24. Worth flagging that this approach to the topic is fresh without being contrarian, and a stop at pearldash extended the same fresh angle, finding original perspective on familiar subjects is rare and this site has clearly developed its own way of seeing rather than echoing the dominant takes from elsewhere consistently.

  25. Decided this was the kind of site I would defend in a discussion about good blog content, and a stop at techpacktoolkit reinforced that, very few sites earn active defence rather than passive consumption and this one has clearly crossed that threshold for me without needing any explicit pitch from the writers themselves either.

  26. Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at shorestitch carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.

  27. Pass this along to colleagues if the topic comes up, the framing here is sensible, and a stop at wagonwildflower adds more useful angles to share, the kind of content that improves conversations rather than just feeding them is what makes a resource genuinely valuable in professional contexts going forward over time and across project boundaries too.

  28. Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at teaterminal confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.

  29. Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at tacttech extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.

  30. Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to kovelune reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.

  31. Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at palvanta 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.

  32. Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after blog33describe I had even more to chew on, the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.

  33. A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing, and a look at mintmariner continued that invisible polish, the best editing disappears into the prose and this site reads as having been edited with skill that does not announce itself which is the highest compliment I can offer any blog content.

  34. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at devpasture only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.

  35. Useful enough to recommend to several people I know who would appreciate it, and a stop at blog44generation added more material I will pass along too, the kind of writing that earns word of mouth is the kind that actually delivers on its promises which is what this site does without any drama or fanfare attached.

  36. Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at appmeadow confirmed I should keep clicking through to more pages here, the kind of resource that justifies its place in my browser history rather than feeling like wasted time which is the highest compliment I offer any site online today.

  37. Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at edwardrowe kept that trust intact, when a site lives up to its own framing it earns the right to keep showing up in my browser tabs going forward indefinitely from here on out really.

  38. Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at blog66explain kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to and probably mentioning to others who work in or care about this particular area of interest today and in coming weeks.

  39. I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at ryzenrealm added even more useful detail without going off topic, this site clearly knows how to keep things focused without sacrificing depth which is a hard balance to strike for any writer.

  40. Came here from another site and ended up exploring much further than I planned, and a look at gammagrid only encouraged more exploration, the kind of place where one click leads to another not through manipulative design but through genuinely interesting content is rare and worth highlighting when found like this somewhere on the open internet.

  41. A satisfying piece in the way that good meals are satisfying rather than just filling, and a look at malwaremart extended that satisfaction, the metaphor between content and meals is one I find useful and this site reads as a satisfying meal rather than the empty calories that most content provides for casual readers.

  42. Decided to set a calendar reminder to revisit, and a stop at blog33rate extended that revisit list, calendar entries for content are a level of commitment I rarely make but when I do they signal a higher regard than a simple bookmark and this site has earned that calendar tier of relationship from me today.

  43. Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at blog66may extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.

  44. However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at workwelly continued earning that careful reading, the conversion from casual visitor to careful reader is something content earns rather than demands and this site has accomplished that conversion for me over the course of just a few pieces.

  45. Worth recognising that the post did not pretend to be the final word on the topic, and a stop at brondyra continued that humility, content that admits its own scope and limits is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to know what it can and cannot claim well.

  46. Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at cloudcloak reinforced the watch status, the few sites I track deliberately rather than encounter accidentally are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has cleared the bar for that elevated tracking based on what I read.

  47. A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at ridgegrid continued that calibrated approach, finding the right level of explanation is one of the harder editorial calls and this site has clearly thought carefully about what readers will already know versus what they need help with consistently.

  48. Beyond the topic at hand this site reads as a small ongoing project of taking writing seriously, and a look at ravennet reinforced that project quality, sites that treat publishing as an ongoing serious practice rather than as content production for traffic are sites worth supporting and this one has clearly chosen the serious approach.

  49. The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at trendtally kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.
