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. Bookmark earned, share earned, return visit earned, all from one reading session, and a look at oakcovegallery did the same, the trifecta of bookmark and share and return is rare in a single visit and represents the highest level of engagement I tend to offer any piece of online content these days here.

  2. Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at pebblestoneoutpost kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.

  3. Reading this slowly to absorb the structure, and the structure is doing real work alongside the words, and a look at marbleharbortrading maintained the same architectural quality, when sentence shapes and paragraph rhythms reinforce the meaning rather than just transporting words you know you are reading skilled work today.

  4. Veiled signs and informal cultural images often secure fresh meanings when they act in games, films and digital entertainment. This article gives a scram overview of how such imagery develops and why definite symbols remain notable quest of audiences. The discussion of mystic symbols crack erudition icons offers different gripping examples and a beneficial vantage point on the subject. Thanks after sharing this cautious article.

  5. Beyond the immediate post itself the editorial sensibility behind the site is what struck me, and a stop at ecomengine 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.

  6. Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at elmbasket continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.

  7. Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at floramarketplace extended that earned authority feeling, sites that demonstrate expertise through the quality of their explanations rather than by stating credentials are sites I trust most and this site has it.

  8. Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at knifeandfork 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.

  9. Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at snowcoveoutpost continued that respectful but unfussy treatment, finding the right register for serious topics is hard and this site has clearly figured out how to take the topic seriously while still being readable for casual visitors regularly.

  10. Now I want to find more sites like this but I suspect they are rare, and a look at wildbazaar extended that thought, the few sites that meet this quality bar are precious specifically because they are rare and finding others like them is one of the ongoing projects of careful internet curation across the years.

  11. Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at paranormalparlor continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.

  12. Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to lavenderstonecollective kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

  13. My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at sunstonegalleria 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.

  14. Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at graniteorchardoutpost extended that adjustment, content that affects my structural understanding rather than just my factual knowledge is content with deeper impact and this site is providing those structural updates at a meaningful rate consistently across topics.

  15. Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at nichepatch continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.

  16. Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at cloudharborcollective only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.

  17. Skipped the comments to avoid spoilers and came back later to find them genuinely worth reading, and a stop at larkmarket extended that surprised respect, when the discussion below a post matches the quality of the post itself you have found something special and this site appears to attract that kind of audience.

  18. Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at gildedgroveoutlet 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.

  19. Skipped the comments section but might come back to read it, and a stop at creekharborcollective hinted at a quality reader community, sites where the comments are worth reading separately from the post are increasingly rare and signal a particular kind of audience that has grown around the editorial vision over time gradually.

  20. If you asked me to point to a recent positive sign for the open web this site would be near the top, and a stop at silvercovevault reinforced that designation, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce quality independent content are precious and this one has clearly become one for me.

  21. Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at silkgroveemporium added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.

  22. A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at lavenderharbortrading continued that organising effect, content that imposes useful structure on messy subjects is doing genuine intellectual work and this site is providing that organisational function across multiple posts I have read recently here.

  23. Liked how the writer used real examples instead of theoretical ones to make the points stick, and a stop at windharborvault added even more concrete examples, this is the kind of practical approach that respects readers who actually want to apply what they learn rather than just nodding along passively without doing anything useful.

  24. Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to berrycovegalleria kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.

  25. Liked how the post handled an objection I was forming as I read, and a stop at frostridgeoutpost similarly anticipated where my thinking was going next, the rare writer who can predict reader concerns and address them in advance is doing something most online content fails to do despite that being basic editorial work.

  26. Without overstating it this is a quietly excellent post, and a look at deliverdock extended that quiet excellence, content that earns superlatives without demanding them through marketing language is content that has truly earned them through the substance and this site has clearly produced work in that earned excellence category today.

  27. Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at bronzebasket kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.

  28. Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at jadevendor confirmed that placement, the difference between sites I want to follow and sites I just consume from is real and this one has crossed into the active follow category from the casual consumption side.

  29. Speaking as someone who reads a lot on this topic this site has earned a high position in my source rankings, and a stop at snowbazaar reinforced that ranking, the informal ranking of sources for a topic is something I maintain mentally and this site has moved into the upper portion of those rankings clearly.

  30. Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at snowcovegalleria produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.

  31. Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at quartzorchardoutpost did the same, content that earns sustained attention in an environment full of distractions is doing something right and this site is clearly doing several things right rather than just one or two which I really appreciate.

  32. Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at solarstoneemporium extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.

  33. Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at creatinecrate reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.

  34. Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at mossharbortrading added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.

  35. Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at lanternorchardcollective 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.

  36. Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at crystalvendorcorner 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.

  37. Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at stonebazaar extended that brightness, content that improves a hard day is content that has earned a particular kind of place in my reading habits and this site is occupying that uplifting role for me today which I appreciate clearly.

  38. Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at bathboutique added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.

  39. Now recognising that this site has earned a place in the small group of resources I treat as authoritative, and a stop at goldenstoneoutlet confirmed that placement, the difference between resources I trust and resources I just consume is real and this site has clearly moved into the trusted category through consistent quality over time.

  40. Even across multiple posts the writers voice has remained consistent in a way I appreciate, and a stop at focusnavigator continued that voice, sites that maintain editorial consistency across many pieces have something most sites lack and this one has clearly worked out how to keep its voice steady across what reads as a growing archive.
