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. Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at bondedgrowthhub 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.

  2. Adding this site to my regular reading list, the post earned that on its own, and a quick stop at bondedsynergy sealed the decision, the kind of place worth checking back with from time to time because it consistently produces material that holds up against a critical reading too which I really value.

  3. Appreciated the way each section connected smoothly to the next without abrupt jumps, and a stop at unitybondcraft kept that flow going nicely, transitions are something most blog writers ignore but the difference is huge for the reader who is trying to follow a sustained line of thought today across many different topics.

  4. Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at claritystrategy continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.

  5. Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at cornerstonebonding 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. A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at directionfirst continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.

  7. Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at directionactivatesmotion only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.

  8. Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets, and a stop at momentumwithdirection extended that elevated framing, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is serving a quiet but important editorial function for the broader cultural conversation about it.

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

  10. Thanks for keeping things clear and to the point, that is honestly hard to find online these days, and after reading through ridgewaybond the message stayed consistent which makes me trust the information being shared more than I usually do on similar pages that cover this same kind of topic.

  11. Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at ideasgainvelocity kept that generous outbound feel, citing other peoples work with real respect rather than just for ranking signals is a sign of an honest operation worth supporting going forward.

  12. Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at unitybondcore confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.

  13. Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at firmamentbond confirmed the rotation upgrade, the move from passive discovery to active checking is a vote of confidence in a sites ongoing quality and this site has earned that active engagement clearly.

  14. Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at focusvector 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.

  15. Worth pointing out that the writing reads as confident without being defensive about it, and a look at globaldeal extended that secure tone, content that does not pre emptively argue against imagined critics has a different quality from defensive writing and this site reads as written from a place of real ease.

  16. Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic, and a stop at capitalunitycircle pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources, the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.

  17. Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after visionoperations I have even more reason to do so, the kind of site that earns word of mouth rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing or paid placements is always a treat to find online.

  18. Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to discoverworld I have even more notes saved, this is the kind of resource that pays you back for the time you spend on it which is rare to come across in this corner of the web.

  19. Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at intentionalexecution continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.

  20. Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at loungepierce extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.

  21. Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while, and a stop at clarityenablestraction 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.

  22. Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after focusdrivenforward I was sure I would come back, that does not happen often when most sites bury the useful parts under endless ads and pop ups today and across most categories online.

  23. My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at trustcontinuity added more pages to my share queue, content that earns shares to specific people in specific contexts is content with social utility and this site is generating those targeted shares from me consistently lately.

  24. My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at capitaltrusthub added more pages to my share queue, content that earns shares to specific people in specific contexts is content with social utility and this site is generating those targeted shares from me consistently lately.

  25. However selective I am about new bookmarks this one made it past my filter, and a look at growthflowsintentionally confirmed the bookmark was worth the slot, the precious slots in my permanent bookmark folder are difficult to earn and this site earned one without making me think twice about whether the slot was justified by the quality.

  26. Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at directionalclarity 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.

  27. Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at directionlogic added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.

  28. Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at focusunlocksprogress kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.

  29. Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at unitycatalyst confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.

  30. Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at bondedvisions 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.

  31. A relief to read something where I did not have to fact check every claim mentally, and a look at bondedcapitalist continued that reliable feeling, sites where I can lower my guard and trust the content are rare and this one is earning that trust paragraph by paragraph through consistent careful work behind the scenes.

  32. One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at progressflowsforward added even more weight to that impression, this is genuinely good content that holds its own against far better known sites in the same space without trying to imitate any of them at all which I appreciate.

  33. Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at directioncraft added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.

  34. Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at directionclarifiesaction suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.

  35. Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at claritycreatesflow 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.

  36. Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance, and a stop at directionaldrive 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.

  37. Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at trustcoregroup reinforced that decision, content that earns a calendar entry rather than just a passing read is in a different tier altogether and this site is clearly working at that elevated level which I really do appreciate as a reader today.

  38. This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at growthcraft did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.

  39. Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at visionforward extended that protected attention, content that earns the prime morning reading slot before the daily distractions begin is content with elevated status and this site has earned that prime slot consistently in my recent reading habits clearly.

  40. Strong recommendation from me, anyone curious about the topic should make time for this, and a look at momentumflow only sharpens that recommendation further, the kind of resource that holds up against careful scrutiny rather than crumbling at the first critical question is rare and worth pointing other people toward when the topic comes up.

  41. Bookmark folder reorganised slightly to make this site easier to find, and a look at actioncreatesvelocity earned the same accessibility upgrade, the small organisational moves I make for sites I expect to return to often are themselves a signal of how much I trust them and this site triggered those moves naturally.

  42. Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance, and a stop at ideascreatepathways 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.

  43. Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at bondedalliance reinforced that defence list, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.

  44. Most of the time I bounce off similar pages within seconds, and a stop at focusalignment held me longer than I would have predicted, the ability to convert a likely bouncing visitor into an engaged reader is a quality signal and this site has demonstrated that conversion ability across multiple visits where I expected to bounce.

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

  46. Appreciated the way each section connected smoothly to the next without abrupt jumps, and a stop at trustcircle kept that flow going nicely, transitions are something most blog writers ignore but the difference is huge for the reader who is trying to follow a sustained line of thought today across many different topics.

  47. If I were grading sites on this topic this one would receive high marks, and a stop at stonebridgecapital continued earning those high marks, the informal grading I do mentally for content sources is something I take seriously even though it is informal and this site has been receiving consistent high marks across multiple sessions today.

  48. Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at strategymap continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.

  49. Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at directionguidesmotion earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.
