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. Felt this in a way I cannot quite explain, the topic just hit different here, and a stop at samplesunrise continued in that vein, sometimes you find a site whose perspective lines up with how you have been thinking and reading their work feels like a small relief which I appreciated more than I expected.

  2. Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at helixhub 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.

  3. The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at dorvoria 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.

  4. Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at remoteranch 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.

  5. Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at cybershieldshop earned the same careful saving, organising my reading bookmarks so that high quality sources rise to the top is something I should do more of and this site triggered that organisation today.

  6. Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at sendersanctuary kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.

  7. Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at silvaneo expanded what I will be sharing with them, this is the kind of resource that makes a real difference when you are trying to point a friend to something useful and reliable rather than generic marketing pages.

  8. Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at vizwave also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.

  9. Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at corewebvitals confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.

  10. Thanks for laying this out in a way that someone newer to the topic can follow, and a stop at parcelpoppy kept that accessibility going, writing that meets readers at different experience levels without condescending is hard to do well and the writers here have clearly thought about who they are writing for.

  11. Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at phonerepairpro added a bit more context that helped tie things together for me, definitely a useful corner of the internet for anyone who wants real information without the usual marketing nonsense around it that often ruins similar pages.

  12. Now noticing how rare it is to find a site that does not feel rushed, and a look at domainward 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.

  13. Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at riceridge reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.

  14. Just want to record that this site is entering my regular reading list, and a look at cashcompass confirmed it deserves the spot, my regular reading list is short and well curated and adding to it requires meeting a fairly high quality bar that this site has clearly cleared without much effort apparently.

  15. Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online, and a stop at luggageledger kept the same clean approach going, this is the kind of writing that respects the reader’s time rather than wasting it on repetitive setups before finally getting to the point at hand which is what most sites do.

  16. Reading this confirmed that my time researching the topic in other places had not been wasted, and a stop at tidalthimble extended the confirmation, when independent sources agree that is a useful signal and this site is one of the more reliable sources I have found for cross checking what I read elsewhere on similar subjects.

  17. Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at pearlparade held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  18. If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at vpnveranda extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.

  19. Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at drboostlab confirmed the archive worth the time, the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.

  20. Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at docksidedeals gave me more material for that imagined explanation, content that improves my own ability to discuss a topic is content that has actually transferred knowledge rather than just decorating my screen for a few minutes.

  21. Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at screenprintshop provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.

  22. Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at totomurah4 extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.

  23. Reading this prompted me to dig out an old reference book related to the topic, and a stop at bigchequeboutique extended that connection to other sources, content that connects me back to my own existing knowledge rather than asking me to forget it is content with continuity and this site has that continuous quality.

  24. Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at goldenparcel kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.

  25. Picked this up between two other things I was doing and got drawn in completely, and after exceleclipse my original tasks were completely forgotten for a while, content that derails a workflow in a positive way by being more interesting than what you were already doing is rare and worth recognising clearly.

  26. Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at outletoracle carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.

  27. My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at sunnyshipment maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.

  28. Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at seasprayshop 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.

  29. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at microbrandmart 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.

  30. Solid value for anyone willing to read carefully, and a look at trailtrekshop extends that value across the rest of the site, this is the kind of place that rewards return visits rather than offering everything in a single splashy post and then leaving readers nothing to come back for later which is unfortunately common.

  31. I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at topaztrail the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.

  32. Now sitting with the thoughts the post triggered rather than rushing on to the next thing, and a stop at malwaremart 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.

  33. Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at lacesandlux reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.

  34. Came in skeptical of the angle and left mostly persuaded, and a stop at streamingstash pushed me a bit further in the same direction, content that can move a critical reader by argument rather than rhetoric is rare and worth pointing out because it indicates real substance underneath the surface presentation here.

  35. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at clarvesta kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.
