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. Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at measuredtrust continued earning that credit, the calibration of how much trust to extend after limited exposure is something I do carefully and this site has earned more trust on shorter exposure than most due to consistent quality across.

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

  3. Reading this prompted me to dig out an old reference book related to the topic, and a stop at globalconnect 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.

  4. A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at actionlogic extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.

  5. Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at directionengine added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.

  6. Found the section structure particularly thoughtful, and a stop at progressmoveswithsignal suggested the same care across the broader site, structural choices guide the reader through the material in ways most people do not consciously notice but feel the absence of when those choices are made carelessly or not at all.

  7. Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at forwardmotionstabilized kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.

  8. More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at actiondefinespath confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.

  9. Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at bondedcontinuum 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.

  10. Picked a friend mentally as the audience for this and decided to send the link, and a look at unitystrengthbond confirmed the send was the right choice, choosing whom to share content with is a small act of curation that I take more seriously than the public sharing most platforms encourage these days online.

  11. The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at bondednetwork added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.

  12. Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at intentionalmovement confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.

  13. Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at brightfuture 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 in a quiet hour and finding it suited the quiet, and a stop at claritydrivesaction extended the quiet reading mood, content that matches its own optimal reading conditions rather than fighting them is content that has been thoughtfully calibrated and this site reads as having a particular reading mood in mind throughout.

  15. Grateful for posts like this one, they remind me there are still places online run by people who care about quality, and a look at anchorcapitalbond reflected the same standards, you can tell the difference between content made for readers and content made just for search engines today and this is the former.

  16. Now noticing that the post benefited from being neither too short nor too long for its content, and a look at ideasbuildmomentum continued that calibration of length, sites that match length to content rather than padding to hit some target are sites that respect both their material and their readers and this site does both.

  17. Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at actionsetsdirection added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.

  18. Reading this gave me a small sense of progress on a topic I have been slowly working through, and a stop at unityframework added another step forward, learning happens in small increments across many sources and finding sources that consistently contribute is the actual practical value of careful curation in an information rich world.

  19. Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through enduringalliances I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

  20. Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at eliteharbor extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.

  21. Just sat back at the end of the post and felt grateful that someone took the time to write it, and a look at clarityspark extended that gratitude across more of the site, recognising effort behind quality work is part of what makes the open web a community rather than just a marketplace today.

  22. Beyond the topic at hand this site reads as a small ongoing project of taking writing seriously, and a look at bondedcoregroup 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.

  23. Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at heritagebridge extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.

  24. Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at focusanchorsgrowth extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.

  25. Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note, and a look at capitalunity continued that arc, content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.

  26. Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at signaldrivesaction prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.

  27. Even across multiple posts the writers voice has remained consistent in a way I appreciate, and a stop at motioncontroller 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.

  28. Beyond the topic at hand this site reads as a small ongoing project of taking writing seriously, and a look at growthmovesstrategically 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.

  29. Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at futurepoint extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.

  30. Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at ideasmovewithpurpose extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.

  31. Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post, and a stop at unitybonded confirmed the rest of the site packs a similar punch, density without confusion is a hard balance to strike and this site has clearly cracked the code on it across many different topic areas covered.

  32. Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at visiontrajectory 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.

  33. Really appreciate that the writer did not assume I would read every other related post first, and a look at progressdrivenforward kept that self contained feel going where each piece can stand alone, accessibility for new readers is a sign of generous editorial thinking and this site has clearly invested in that approach.

  34. Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at urbanluma suggested I will share more from here later, content worth sharing into a professional context is content that has earned a higher kind of trust than mere personal interest and this site has it.

  35. Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while, and a stop at progressmotion extended that mild impression, content that produces specific positive emotional responses rather than just neutral information transfer is content with extra dimensions and this site has those extra dimensions clearly.

  36. Reading this in a quiet hour and finding it suited the quiet, and a stop at directionturnskeys extended the quiet reading mood, content that matches its own optimal reading conditions rather than fighting them is content that has been thoughtfully calibrated and this site reads as having a particular reading mood in mind throughout.

  37. Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at intentionaldesign added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.

  38. A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at clarityflow carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.

  39. Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at evertrustbond extended that craft pleasure, sentence level writing quality is something most blog content ignores entirely and this site has clearly invested in the prose layer alongside the substance which is rare today.

  40. Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at bondedunitypath kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.

  41. The lack of unnecessary jargon made the post accessible without sacrificing accuracy, and a look at grandunitybond continued in the same accessible style, technical topics often hide behind specialised vocabulary but here the writer trusts the reader to keep up with plain language and that trust pays off nicely throughout the entire post.

  42. Once I trust a site this much I tend to read everything they publish and that is the trajectory I am on with this one, and a stop at directionguidesenergy confirmed the trajectory, the rare progression from interested reader to comprehensive reader is something only certain sites earn and this one is earning that progression rapidly.

  43. Appreciate that you did not pad this with fluff to hit a word count, the post says what it needs to say and stops, and a look at ideamotionlab did the same, brevity here feels intentional not lazy which is a distinction many writers miss completely sometimes when they are working under deadlines.

  44. Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at honorcapital earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.

  45. Grateful for posts like this one, they remind me there are still places online run by people who care about quality, and a look at momentumneedsfocus reflected the same standards, you can tell the difference between content made for readers and content made just for search engines today and this is the former.

  46. Honest assessment after reading this twice is that it holds up under careful attention, and a look at unityledger extended that durability across more pages, content that survives a second read without revealing weak spots is rarer than the average reader probably realises and this site clearly cleared that bar.
