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. Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at fiorvyn would also serve in that future piece, content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.

  2. Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at sleepsanctuary produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.

  3. Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at readypixel only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.

  4. Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at sublimesummit 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.

  5. Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at momentummall held my attention straight through, sometimes content fights for time against my own distraction and the times it wins say something positive about its quality and this post clearly won that fight today afternoon for me.

  6. Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at embroideryeden suggested I will mention this site again later, recommending content into a workplace context is a small editorial act that requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those recommendations consistently here too.

  7. Beyond the immediate post itself the editorial sensibility behind the site is what struck me, and a stop at chocolateroom continued displaying that sensibility, content that reveals editorial choices through accumulated reading is content with structural quality and this site has clearly developed an underlying approach worth identifying through multiple sessions of reading.

  8. Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at revenueridge pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.

  9. During a quiet evening reading session this provided just the right depth without being heavy, and a stop at crispcollective maintained the same evening appropriate weight, content with depth that does not exhaust the reader is content with editorial calibration and this site has clearly figured out how to be substantial without being demanding all the time.

  10. 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 pakistanpulse kept that same standard going, so I left feeling like the time spent here was actually worth something for once which is rare lately.

  11. Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at mirstoria kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.

  12. Skipped past the first paragraph thinking it was setup and had to come back when the rest referenced it, and a stop at chocolateroom similarly rewarded careful reading from the start, content where every paragraph carries weight is content I now know to read from the beginning rather than skipping ahead.

  13. A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at fitfuelfjord confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.

  14. 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 sipandsupply 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.

  15. Picked up two new ideas that I expect will come up in conversations this week, and a look at silkstation added another, content that arms me with talking points rather than just filling time is the kind that provides ongoing value beyond the moment of reading and this site is generating that kind of ongoing value.

  16. I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at blog33probably 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.

  17. Came back to this an hour later to reread a specific section, and a quick visit to urbanunison also drew a second look, content that pulls you back rather than letting you move on permanently is the kind I want to fill my browser bookmarks with in 2026 and beyond as the open internet evolves.

  18. Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance, and a stop at fiorenzaa maintained the same restraint, knowing when to be serious is a rare editorial virtue and this site has clearly developed it through what I assume is careful editorial practice over years.

  19. Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at blog44through did not lower that bar at all, in fact it confirmed the impression, this is the kind of consistency that earns a place in regular rotation for serious readers instead of casual scrollers passing through.

  20. Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at woolwarehouse continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.

  21. A piece that took its time without dragging, and a look at worldshipper kept the same patient pace, the difference between unhurried and slow is a fine editorial distinction and this site has clearly found the unhurried side without slipping into the slow side which would have lost me as a reader quickly otherwise.

  22. Reading this felt easy in the best way, no friction and no confusion at any point, and a stop at riverroutey carried that same comfort across more pages, the kind of editorial flow that lets you absorb information without fighting the format which is increasingly hard to find on the open web today across topics.

  23. Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at pcpartspal confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.

  24. Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at dawnanddapper continued that complete feel, content that does not invite obvious additions or corrections from readers is content that has been carefully considered and this site appears to consistently produce pieces that satisfy rather than provoke unnecessary follow ups.

  25. Now noticing how rare it is to find a site that does not feel rushed, and a look at checkoutchamp extended that calm pace, content produced without time pressure has a different quality than content shipped to meet a deadline and this site reads as written without urgency which produces a different and better experience for readers.

  26. Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at brewbrooks continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.

  27. Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at leatherlane kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.

  28. Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at skynvanta only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.

  29. A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at kidkismet maintained the same restraint across pages, knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what to say and this site has clearly developed strong instincts on both sides of that editorial line throughout pieces I have read.

  30. Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at apppalm drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.

  31. Decided I would read the archives over the weekend, and a stop at blog66part confirmed that the archives would be worth the time, very few sites have archives I would actively read through but this one has earned that level of interest based on the consistent quality across what I have sampled so far.

  32. Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at topfootwearus continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.

  33. Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to blog33administration only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.

  34. Worth marking the moment when reading this clicked into something useful for my own work, and a look at decordistrict extended that practical click, content that connects to my actual life rather than just being interesting is content with the highest kind of value and this site is generating that connection at a high rate.
