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. Worth flagging that the writing rewarded a second read more than I expected, and a look at pawspavilion produced the same second read benefit, content with hidden depths that emerge only on careful rereading is rare in the modern blog space and this site has clearly invested in that level of compositional density throughout.

  2. Did not expect much when I clicked through but ended up reading the whole thing carefully, and a stop at drboostlab kept that engagement going, sometimes the unassuming sites turn out to deliver more than the flashy ones which is something I have learned to look out for over time online lately and across topics.

  3. Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at forestaisle reinforced that quiet success quality, sites that are doing well without making a noise about doing well are the sites I most respect and this one has clearly chosen the quiet success path consistently throughout.

  4. This actually answered the question I had been searching for, and after I checked irisvendor I had a few more pieces I had not realised I needed, that is the sign of a site that knows what its readers want before they even know how to ask it which is impressive.

  5. A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing, and a look at topazrack 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.

  6. Now feeling confident enough in this site to use it as a reference point for evaluating others on the same topic, and a look at dumbbelldrift continued the comparison friendly quality, sites that serve as quality benchmarks for their topic are precious and this one has clearly become a benchmark for me on this particular subject area.

  7. Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at mossaforge pushed that confirmation toward greater confidence, content that lines up with independently held intuitions earns a special kind of trust and I will return to writers who consistently land that way for me without overselling positions.

  8. Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at pearlvendorhouse confirmed that decision, content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.

  10. Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at wervina earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.

  11. Found this really helpful, the explanations are simple but they actually answer the questions a normal reader would have, and after I followed fireflymarket I had a clearer sense of the topic, no extra fluff just useful points laid out in a sensible order that made the time worth it.

  12. A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at glassvendorcorner suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.

  13. Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at hiveloft suggested the community quality matches the content quality, when the conversation around a piece is as good as the piece itself you know you have found a real corner of the internet.

  14. Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at cottonvendorlane continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.

  15. Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at valevendor added a bit more to that, the rare site that actually transfers some of its knowledge to the reader in a way that sticks rather than just creating an illusion of learning briefly.

  16. Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at officeopal extended that problem solving function, content that connects to specific unresolved questions in my own life rather than just providing general interest is content with real practical impact and this site is providing that practical value.

  17. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at mossmarketplace 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.

  18. Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at deltavendor kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.

  19. Really like the way the post resists reaching for cliches that would have made it feel generic, and a quick visit to keystonehub kept that fresh feel going, original phrasing and unexpected metaphors are signs that the writer is actually thinking rather than just stitching together familiar phrases into the appearance of content.

  20. A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at clovervendorhouse continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.

  21. Started taking notes about halfway through because the points were stacking up, and a look at gingerbazaar added enough material that my notes file grew further, content that demands note taking from a passive reader is content with substance and the writers here are clearly producing that kind of work consistently across topics.

  22. Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at pebbleport confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.

  23. Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at tervox cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.

  24. Started forming counter examples to test the claims and the post handled most of them implicitly, and a look at halvessa continued that anticipatory style, writers who think two steps ahead of the critical reader save themselves from a lot of follow up work and this writer has clearly internalised that habit consistently.

  25. In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at depotlark 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.

  26. Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at dawnvendor 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.

  27. 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 leafvendor 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.

  28. Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at velvetvendorstudio reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.

  29. If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at nookvista reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.

  30. Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at hardwareharbor kept that comfortable middle ground going, finding a tone that respects the reader without becoming distant or overly familiar is harder than it sounds and this site nails that balance consistently across many different pieces.

  31. Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at canyoncart only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.
