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. Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at sharedpath extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.

  2. Thanks for sharing this with the open internet rather than locking it behind a paywall like so many sites do now, and a stop at trustvault kept the same vibe going, generous helpful and clearly written by someone who actually wants people to learn from it rather than just charge them.

  3. Honestly the simplicity is what makes this work, the topic is not buried under filler words or overly complex examples, and a quick look at visionmapping showed the same sensible style, I left with what I came for and no headache from over reading which is a real win these days.

  4. Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at bondedcore carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.

  5. Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at trustfoundry similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.

  6. Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at focuslane reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.

  7. Bookmark added in three places to make sure I do not lose the link, and a look at trustaxis got the same redundant treatment, sites I am afraid to lose are the rare keepers and this is clearly one of them based on what I have read so far across this and a couple of related posts.

  8. Reading this triggered a small change in how I think about the topic going forward, and a stop at focusguidesgrowth reinforced that subtle shift, the rare content that actually moves my thinking rather than just confirming or filling it is the kind I most value and this site is providing that kind of impact today.

  9. Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at trustedharborbond 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.

  10. Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at signalcreatesfocus 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.

  11. Really like that there are no exclamation marks or all caps shouting throughout the post, and a quick visit to ideasunlockvelocity maintained the same calm voice, restraint in punctuation signals confidence in the content and this site clearly trusts its substance to do the persuading rather than relying on typographic emphasis.

  12. Reading this with my morning coffee turned into reading the related posts with my morning coffee, and a stop at ideafocus stretched the morning further, content that pulls breakfast into a reading session rather than just accompanying it is content that has earned a higher claim on my attention than the average article does.

  13. Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at clarityfollowsfocus reinforced that intention, the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.

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

  15. Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at bondedconnections reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.

  16. Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at creativepath extended that respect for readers, content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.

  17. However measured this site clears the bar I set for sites I take seriously, and a stop at clutchbulb continued clearing that bar, the metrics I use for site quality are admittedly informal but they are consistent and this site has cleared them on multiple measurements across multiple visits which is meaningful for my evaluation.

  18. Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at progresssystem carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.

  19. Really appreciate that the writer did not stretch the post to hit some target word count, the points end when they are made, and a stop at highlandbond reflected the same discipline, brevity is generosity in disguise and this site has clearly figured that out far better than most blog operations have.

  20. Recommended without hesitation if you care about careful coverage of this topic, and a stop at clarityconstructor reinforced the recommendation, the bar I set for unhesitating recommendations is fairly high and this site has cleared it through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good pieces rather than through any single standout post which is meaningful.

  21. Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at motionoptimizer maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.

  22. Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at bondedpath confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.

  23. Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at bondedprime reinforced that, the bar for short content is low because most of it sacrifices substance for brevity but this site manages both at once which is harder than it sounds for most writers attempting it.

  24. Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after securebonding 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.

  25. The whole experience of reading this was pleasant from start to finish, no pop ups and no annoying interruptions, and a look at navisbond continued that clean experience, technical choices about page design matter for the reader and this site clearly cares about the small details that add up to comfort across multiple visits.

  26. Quality writing that respects the reader’s intelligence without overloading them, and a quick look at steadfastnetwork reflected that approach, a balanced thoughtful site that earns trust by being consistent rather than by shouting about how trustworthy it is which is the usual approach online sadly across most content categories.

  27. Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at growthunfoldsforward continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.

  28. Came in for one specific question and got answers to three I had not even thought to ask, and a look at trustharvest extended that bonus value pattern, the kind of resource that anticipates reader needs rather than just answering the literal question asked is the gold standard and this site reaches it.

  29. Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at strategicbonding extended that enthusiasm, the calibration of enthusiasm to evidence is something I try to maintain and this site has earned a calibrated quiet enthusiasm rather than the loud excitement that usually fades within a day or two of finding something.

  30. Thanks for keeping the writing direct without losing the warmth that makes content feel human, and a stop at directionfuelsmotion carried both qualities forward, balancing professionalism and personality is a rare skill and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently land it across many posts which I notice.

  31. Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at claritypowersprogress confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.

  32. Skipped the related links section thinking I had read enough and then came back to it later when curiosity got the better of me, and a stop at bondedalliancenetwork confirmed I should have just read it first, every section of this site appears to deserve careful attention rather than skipping past lazily.

  33. Reading this with a fresh mind in the morning brought out details I might have missed in the afternoon, and a stop at progressneedsdirection earned the same fresh attention, content that rewards being read at full attention rather than at energy lows is content with real density and this site has that density consistently.

  34. Solid post, the structure is easy to follow and the language stays simple even when the topic gets a bit more involved, and a look at forwardmotionclarity kept that same standard going, so I left feeling like the time spent here was actually worth something for once which is rare lately.

  35. The whole experience of reading this was pleasant from start to finish, no pop ups and no annoying interruptions, and a look at claritycreatesmomentum continued that clean experience, technical choices about page design matter for the reader and this site clearly cares about the small details that add up to comfort across multiple visits.

  36. A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at momentumvector confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.

  37. Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at solidtrustbond carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.

  38. Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at growthmoveswithsignal 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.

  39. Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at cliffbeck extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  40. Thanks for the simple approach, too many sites bury the actual point under layers of unnecessary words, but here every line earns its place, and a look at smartgrowth showed the same care for the reader which is something I will remember the next time I need answers on a topic.

  41. Useful enough to recommend to several people I know who would appreciate it, and a stop at bondedcircle added more material I will pass along too, the kind of writing that earns word of mouth is the kind that actually delivers on its promises which is what this site does without any drama or fanfare attached.

  42. More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at unitybridgebond kept that quality consistent, this is one of those sites where the writing actually rewards careful reading rather than punishing the patient reader with empty filler stretched out across long paragraphs that say very little.

  43. This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at findyourstyle 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.

  44. Picked a friend mentally as the audience for this and decided to send the link, and a look at progressalignment 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.

  45. Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at impactanchor confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.

  46. Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at brandlaunch held my attention straight through, sometimes content fights for time against my own distraction and the times it wins say something positive about its quality and this post clearly won that fight today afternoon for me.

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

  48. Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at longtermalliances added more pages I will mention to them, recommending sites to specific people requires understanding both the site and the person and this site is making those personalised recommendations easy and natural for me.

  49. Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at peaktrustbond extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  50. Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after capitalheritage 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.
