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. Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at nexabond expanded the idea even further, the kind of writing that nudges your thinking forward a bit without forcing the issue is exactly what I look for online today and rarely actually find anywhere.

  2. Really grateful for content like this, it does not waste my time and it does not insult my intelligence either, and a quick look at crimsonmeadow was the same, balanced respectful writing that makes a person feel welcome rather than rushed through pages of forced engagement just to keep clicking around.

  3. Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at riftstoneoutlet keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.

  4. Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to capitalharbor maintained the same direct stance, writing that takes positions rather than equivocating is more useful even when the positions are debatable because at least the reader has something to react to clearly.

  5. Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at unifiedanchor continued the surprisingly good experience, search engines occasionally still surface excellent independent content if you scroll past the obvious paid and high authority results which is reassuring to remember sometimes.

  6. Decided to set a calendar reminder to revisit, and a stop at ideasbecomemomentum extended that revisit list, calendar entries for content are a level of commitment I rarely make but when I do they signal a higher regard than a simple bookmark and this site has earned that calendar tier of relationship from me today.

  7. Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at fidelitylink confirmed the pattern, the difference between sites that hit quality occasionally and sites that hit it consistently is huge and this site has clearly demonstrated the consistent kind through what I have read this morning.

  8. Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at focusdrivesoutcomes reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.

  9. Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at claritypowersaction 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. Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at silverlinebond reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.

  11. Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at mutualstrengthbond extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.

  12. Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at emberwildstore produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.

  13. Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at frontierbond reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.

  14. Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at covebeck kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to and probably mentioning to others who work in or care about this particular area of interest today and in coming weeks.

  15. Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after sunhavenoutlet I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.

  16. Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at solidgroundbond did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.

  17. Reading this gave me confidence to make a decision I had been putting off, and a stop at bondedvector reinforced that confidence, content that translates into action in my own life rather than just informing it is content with the highest practical value and this site is generating that action level utility for me lately.

  18. Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at progresscatalyst extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.

  19. Now thinking the topic is more interesting than I had given it credit for, and a stop at capitalwatch continued that elevated interest, content that revives my curiosity about subjects I had set aside is doing genuine work in the structure of my interests and this site is providing that revivifying effect today actually.

  20. Reading this site over the past week has changed how I evaluate content in this space, and a look at northloomgoods extended that recalibration, the standards I bring to reading on the topic have shifted upward as a direct result of regular exposure to this kind of work and that shift will outlast any single reading session.

  21. Took me back a step or two on an assumption I had been making, and a stop at tandembond pushed that reconsideration further, writing that gently corrects the reader without being aggressive about it is a rare diplomatic skill and the team here clearly knows how to land critical points without turning readers off.

  22. The way the post stayed on topic throughout without going on tangents was really refreshing, and a look at pineharborboutique kept that focused approach going, discipline like this in writing is rare and worth recognising because most writers cannot resist wandering off into related subjects that dilute their main point and confuse readers along the way.

  23. A piece that read as if the writer was thinking carefully rather than just typing fluently, and a look at windstonecollective continued that considered quality, the difference between fluent typing and careful thinking shows up in writing and this site reads as the product of thought rather than just the product of language fluency apparently.

  24. Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at businesspower reinforced that plan, choosing the right moment to read certain content is a quiet form of respect for the work and this site is generating those careful planning behaviours from me consistently as a reader.

  25. Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing, and a stop at linenwild reinforced that discovery quality, the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.

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

  27. Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at ironhollowboutique 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.

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

  29. Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at legacyalloy 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.

  30. Top quality material, deserves more attention than it probably gets, and a look at coretrustlink reflected the same effort across the site, a hidden gem in the modern web where most attention goes to whoever shouts loudest rather than whoever actually delivers the best content for their readers without much marketing fanfare.

  31. Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to ironwavecollective kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.

  32. Glad to have another reliable bookmark for this topic, and a look at keystonevector suggested several more pages I will be marking too, building a personal library of trustworthy resources is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is earning a place on my permanent shortlist for the topic.

  33. If I were to recommend a starting point for the topic this site would be near the top of my list, and a stop at anchorbonding reinforced that recommendation status, the small list of starting point recommendations I keep for friends asking about topics is short and this site is now firmly on it.

  34. Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at eveningtideboutique extended the search frustration, the rare site that does what no other does in quite the same way is precious and this one has clearly developed a particular approach that I have not been able to find duplicates of.

  35. Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at dynabond pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.

  36. 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 surepathbond 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.

  37. Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at progressmoveswithclarity kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.

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

  39. Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at signalbuildsdirection extended that wish across more subjects, the rarity of careful coverage on most topics is a problem and this site is one of the small antidotes to that broader pattern of casual or surface treatment of complex subjects.

  40. Now feeling the rare pleasure of trusting a source completely on first encounter, and a look at enduringlink extended that initial trust into something more durable, the calibration of trust to evidence is something I do informally and this site has earned high trust through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good posts already.

  41. Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at dependablebond extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.

  42. Found the rhythm of the prose particularly enjoyable on this read through, and a look at directionbuildsflow kept that musical quality going across the related pages, sentence rhythm is something most blog writers ignore but it makes a real difference in how content lands with the careful reader who cares.

  43. Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at unitybondnetwork 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.

  44. Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at urbanwave 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.

  45. Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at meritanchor 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.

  46. Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting, and a look at covecanal continued that elevation effect, content that improves the apparent quality of its subject through skilled treatment is doing something real and this site has clearly developed that kind of editorial alchemy throughout.

  47. Liked the way the post handled the final paragraph, no neat bow but no abrupt cutoff either, and a stop at bondedvisiongroup continued that thoughtful ending pattern, endings are hard and most blog writers either over engineer them or skip them entirely and this site has clearly figured out a sustainable middle approach.

  48. Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked northernpetalstore I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.

  49. A welcome reminder that thoughtful writing still happens online, and a look at inkedmeadow extended that reassurance, the modern web makes it easy to forget that careful writing exists and finding sites that practice it is a small antidote to the cynicism that builds up from too much exposure to algorithmic content.

  50. Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at crossroadbond kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.
