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. My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at discoverhiddenpaths pulled me back a third time, the actual return rate to bookmarked sites is the real measure of value and this one is clearing that measure at a notable rate already.

  2. Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at buildforwardsteps 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.

  3. Came here from a search and stayed for the side links because they were that interesting, and a stop at trusteddealmarketplace took me even further into the site, the kind of organic exploration that good content invites is something most sites kill through aggressive interlinking and pushy navigation choices rather than relying on quality.

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

  5. A piece that ended with a clean landing rather than fading out, and a look at globalcommercialalliances maintained the same crisp conclusions, endings that resolve rather than dissolve are a sign of careful structural thinking and this site has clearly invested in how its pieces conclude rather than letting them simply run out of energy.

  6. 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 learnandgrowdigitally 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.

  7. Will share this on a forum I am part of where it will be appreciated by others working in the same area, and a look at businessrelationshipplatform suggests there is more here worth passing along too, definitely a generous resource that deserves a wider audience than it probably has today across the open internet.

  8. Reading this on the train into work was a better use of the commute than my usual choices, and a stop at clicktoexploreinnovations extended that commute reading well, content that improves transit time rather than just filling it is content with practical benefit and this site has earned its place in my morning commute reading rotation.

  9. Solid recommendation from me to anyone working in the area, the perspective here is grounded, and a look at everydayvaluepurchase adds even more useful angles, the kind of site that becomes a reference rather than just a one time read which is a higher bar than most blogs ever reach today on the modern web.

  10. Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at textcentrzdmnewz 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.

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

  12. Honest assessment after reading this twice is that it holds up under careful attention, and a look at globalpartnershipinfrastructure 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.

  13. A piece that took its time without dragging, and a look at businessunityplatform kept the same patient pace, the difference between unhurried and slow is a fine editorial distinction and this site has clearly found the unhurried side without slipping into the slow side which would have lost me as a reader quickly otherwise.

  14. Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at seabreezeatelier kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.

  15. Skipped the comments section but might come back to read it, and a stop at strategicgrowthpartnerships hinted at a quality reader community, sites where the comments are worth reading separately from the post are increasingly rare and signal a particular kind of audience that has grown around the editorial vision over time gradually.

  16. A piece that ended with a clean landing rather than fading out, and a look at startbuildingmomentum maintained the same crisp conclusions, endings that resolve rather than dissolve are a sign of careful structural thinking and this site has clearly invested in how its pieces conclude rather than letting them simply run out of energy.

  17. Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at digitalcommercebuying 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.

  18. Clean writing, easy to read, and never tries too hard to impress, that combination is harder to find than people think, and after my time on generalztipsal I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.

  19. Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at corporatetrustnetwork added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.

  20. Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at clicktoexpandknowledge kept that comfortable middle ground going, finding a tone that respects the reader without becoming distant or overly familiar is harder than it sounds and this site nails that balance consistently across many different pieces.

  21. Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at startthinkingforward confirmed the archive worth the time, the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.

  22. This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at bondedmatrix kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.

  23. Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at digitalretailsolutions produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.

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

  25. Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at corporateunitysolutions 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.

  26. Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at explorefreshopportunities produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.

  27. Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at securestrategicbonds 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.

  28. Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at findbetterstrategies 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.

  29. Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at easydigitalretail confirmed that comparison, the bar for free content is often lower than for paid but this site clears the paid bar consistently and that says something about the editorial approach behind the work being published here regularly.

  30. Reading this on the train into work was a better use of the commute than my usual choices, and a stop at discovermodernstrategies extended that commute reading well, content that improves transit time rather than just filling it is content with practical benefit and this site has earned its place in my morning commute reading rotation.

  31. Picked up on several small touches that suggest a careful editor, and a look at reliablebuyinghub suggested the same hand at work across the broader site, editorial consistency at a granular level is one of the strongest signs that an operation is serious rather than just hobbyist and this site reads as serious throughout.

  32. The way the post stayed on topic throughout without going on tangents was really refreshing, and a look at bondprimex 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.

  33. Decided to read this site for a while before forming a verdict, and the verdict after several pages is positive, and a stop at topgadgettechnewz1 continued that pattern, judging a site requires more than one post and giving sites a fair sample is something I try to do for promising candidates rather than rushing to dismiss.

  34. Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at securecommercialbonding 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.

  35. Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at clicktoexploremarketideas confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.

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

  37. Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at findsmarterbusinessmoves 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.

  38. A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at smartshoppingdepot maintained the same clarity of intention, knowing the goal of a piece before writing is something most blog content lacks and the clarity of purpose here shows up in every paragraph for any careful reader to notice.

  39. Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at genralnewzupdates 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.

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

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

  42. Solid recommendation from me to anyone working in the area, the perspective here is grounded, and a look at explorelongtermgrowth adds even more useful angles, the kind of site that becomes a reference rather than just a one time read which is a higher bar than most blogs ever reach today on the modern web.

  43. Picked up two new ideas that I expect will come up in conversations this week, and a look at valuefocusedshoppinghub added another, content that arms me with talking points rather than just filling time is the kind that provides ongoing value beyond the moment of reading and this site is generating that kind of ongoing value.

  44. Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at learnandadvancehere confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.

  45. Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at globaltrustrelationshipnetwork adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.

  46. Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at pineechoemporium produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.

  47. Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at enterprisepartnershipsolutions confirmed that comparison, the bar for free content is often lower than for paid but this site clears the paid bar consistently and that says something about the editorial approach behind the work being published here regularly.

  48. A clear case of writing that does not try to do too much in one post, and a look at discoverbettersolutions maintained the same scoped discipline, posts that try to cover too much end up covering nothing well and this site has clearly chosen scope discipline as a core editorial principle which shows up clearly in what I read.

  49. Useful read, especially because the writer did not assume too much background from the reader, and a quick look at bondedstronghold continued in the same way, a thoughtful site that meets people where they are which is something the modern web could use a lot more of for both casual and serious readers.

  50. Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at trustedcommercialnetwork continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.
