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

  2. Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at northfieldcraft 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.

  3. Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at trustedshoppingzone 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.

  4. A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at clickroute continued that organisational clarity, holding multiple threads in a single piece without losing any of them is a sign of skilled writing and this site has clearly developed the editorial discipline to manage complexity without sacrificing readability throughout.

  5. Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at crazecocoa extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.

  6. Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at riverquartzstore continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.

  7. Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at surefootbond sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.

  8. One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at peaklinebond 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.

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

  10. Most of the time I feel the open web is in decline and then I find a site like this, and a stop at mainstaybond reinforced that mood lift, the cumulative effect of finding occasional excellent independent content versus the cumulative effect of finding mostly mediocre content is real for the long term reader maintaining web habits today.

  11. Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at rustandpetal 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.

  12. A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure, and a look at honestbonding continued that intellectual honesty, content that admits the limits of its scope is more trustworthy than content that pretends to total understanding and this site has the right calibration on certainty consistently.

  13. Most of the time I bounce off similar pages within seconds, and a stop at guardianbond 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.

  14. Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at cornerstoneaxis extended that care across more pages, the kind of attention to quality that shows up in every paragraph is what separates serious sites from the rest and this one has clearly invested in that paragraph level attention across what I have read.

  15. Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at reliancebonded confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.

  16. Really appreciate that the writer did not assume I would read every other related post first, and a look at anchoralliance 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.

  17. Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at bondedtrustnet continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.

  18. Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at trustpillarhub 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.

  19. Thanks for keeping things clear and to the point, that is honestly hard to find online these days, and after reading through emberleafmarket 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.

  20. Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at pathwaytomomentum 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.

  21. Now noticing that the post benefited from being neither too short nor too long for its content, and a look at clickfield 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.

  22. Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at clicktowinonline added a bit more context that helped tie things together for me, definitely a useful corner of the internet for anyone who wants real information without the usual marketing nonsense around it that often ruins similar pages.

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

  24. Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to bondward 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.

  25. Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at explorefutureoptions kept me in that careful reading mode, the kind of writing that demands attention by being worth attention is rare in a media environment full of content engineered to be skimmed not read with any real focus today.

  26. Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at midwaterfinds hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.

  27. Probably going to mention this site in a write up I am working on later this month, and a stop at frostlineboutique provided more material for that potential mention, content worth referencing in my own published work rather than just personal reading is content with the highest endorsement level and this site has earned that endorsement.

  28. Now feeling confident enough in this site to use it as a reference point for evaluating others on the same topic, and a look at northbayemporium continued the comparison friendly quality, sites that serve as quality benchmarks for their topic are precious and this one has clearly become a benchmark for me on this particular subject area.

  29. A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at dailyshoppingpoint maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.

  30. Picked a single sentence from this post to remember, and a look at integritybonded gave me another to keep, content that produces memorable lines is doing more than just transferring information and the small selection of sentences I keep from each reading session is one of the actual returns I get from reading carefully.

  31. A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at crestbulb maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.

  32. Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at goldenmaplemarket reinforced that quiet success quality, sites that are doing well without making a noise about doing well are the sites I most respect and this one has clearly chosen the quiet success path consistently throughout.

  33. Worth marking the moment when reading this clicked into something useful for my own work, and a look at monumentbond extended that practical click, content that connects to my actual life rather than just being interesting is content with the highest kind of value and this site is generating that connection at a high rate.

  34. Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at riverbloomatelier 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.

  35. Thanks for not padding this with the usual filler intros and outros that every other blog seems to require, and a quick visit to clicktolearnmore continued that lean approach across more posts, content stripped of waste is content that respects you and I will always come back to that kind of approach.

  36. Glad the writer did not feel the need to argue with imaginary critics in the post itself, and a stop at pillarstone kept the same focused approach going, defensive writing wastes the reader time and confidence on positions that did not need defending and this post has clearly avoided that common failure.

  37. A piece that read as if the writer was thinking carefully rather than just typing fluently, and a look at driftwoodlanestore 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.

  38. Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at legacyharbor maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.

  39. Glad to have another reliable bookmark for this topic, and a look at clicktoexploremore 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.

  40. Probably the best thing I have read on this topic in the past month, and a stop at coremerge extended that ranking, the casual ranking of recent reading is informal but real and this site has been winning those rankings for me on this topic specifically over the last several weeks of regular reading sessions.

  41. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at capitalkeystone kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.

  42. Considered against the flood of similar content this one stands apart in important ways, and a stop at bondedaxis extended that distinctive feel, sites that find their own corner of a crowded topic and stay there are sites worth following and this one has clearly carved out its own space and committed to defending it carefully.

  43. Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at everoakmarket 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.

  44. Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at corebridgebond maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.

  45. Honestly thank you to whoever wrote this because it scratched an itch I had not quite been able to articulate, and a stop at midtownmeadow kept that satisfying feeling going, the kind of writing that meets unspoken needs is special and this site clearly has writers who understand their readers more than most do today.

  46. Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at nextclicker confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.

  47. Walked away in a slightly better mood than when I started reading, that says something about the writing, and a stop at northshorefinds kept that going, content that leaves you feeling more capable rather than overwhelmed is the kind I keep coming back to again and again over the years and across many topics.

  48. Reading this confirmed a hunch I had been carrying about the topic without having articulated it, and a stop at thinkmoveadvance extended the confirmation, content that gives shape to fuzzy intuitions is doing the rare work of making private thoughts public and this site is providing that articulating service consistently for me lately.

  49. Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at mistspireemporium kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.

  50. Skipped the comments to avoid spoilers and came back later to find them genuinely worth reading, and a stop at optimumbond 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.
