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. Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at learnfuturefocusedskills kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.

  2. Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at buyinghubonline extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.

  3. Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to toriters1 confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.

  4. Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at trustedretailplatform added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.

  5. Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at cornerpeak added more material I will pass along too, the impulse to share is the strongest signal I have for content quality and this site is generating that impulse cleanly across multiple posts.

  6. However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at smartconsumerbuyingzone continued earning that careful reading, the conversion from casual visitor to careful reader is something content earns rather than demands and this site has accomplished that conversion for me over the course of just a few pieces.

  7. A quiet piece that did not try to compete on volume, and a look at longtermvaluepartnership maintained that selective approach, sites that publish less but better are increasingly rare in an environment that rewards volume and this one has clearly chosen quality cadence over quantity which is a brave editorial decision in current conditions.

  8. Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at buildlongtermbusinessvision continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.

  9. Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at trustedshoppingplatform continued that quiet quality, confident writing without the loud display of confidence is a rare combination and this site has clearly developed both the knowledge and the editorial restraint to land that combination consistently.

  10. Came in confused about the topic and left with a much firmer grasp on it, and after modernpurchasehub I felt I could explain this to someone else without hesitation, that is the gold standard for any educational content and most sites simply fail to reach it ever which is unfortunate but true.

  11. Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at longtermcorporateconnections pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.

  12. Reading this in three sittings because the day was fragmented, and the piece survived the fragmentation, and a stop at clicktoexploregrowthideas held up under similar reading conditions, content engineered for continuous attention is fragile in modern conditions and this site reads as durable across the realistic ways people consume content today.

  13. Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at smartpurchaseecosystem prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.

  14. Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at explorelongtermopportunities 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.

  15. Generally my attention drifts on long posts but this one held it through the end, and a stop at buildsmarterdecisions earned the same sustained focus, content that defeats my drift tendency is content with substantive pulling power and this site has demonstrated that pulling power across multiple pieces in a session that has now run quite long actually.

  16. Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at odysseyoutlook extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.

  17. Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at enterpriseunityframework added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.

  18. Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at clicktoadvanceknowledge kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.

  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 professionalcollaborationhub 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. A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at premiumonlinebuyinghub continued that calibrated approach, finding the right level of explanation is one of the harder editorial calls and this site has clearly thought carefully about what readers will already know versus what they need help with consistently.

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

  22. Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to explorebusinessopportunities kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.

  23. Halfway through I knew I would finish the post, and a stop at buildsmartergrowthpaths also held me through to the end, content that signals its quality early and then sustains it is content with real internal consistency and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain quality from opening sentence through to closing thought.

  24. Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at growwithinformedchoices continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.

  25. I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at reliabledealshoppinghub the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.

  26. The structure of the post made it easy to follow without losing track of where I was, and a look at easydigitalretail kept the same logical flow going, this site clearly understands that organisation is half the battle in keeping readers engaged from the first line to the last across any kind of post.

  27. Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at morningquartz did not lower that bar at all, in fact it confirmed the impression, this is the kind of consistency that earns a place in regular rotation for serious readers instead of casual scrollers passing through.

  28. Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at buildyourstrategicfuture extended that problem solving function, content that connects to specific unresolved questions in my own life rather than just providing general interest is content with real practical impact and this site is providing that practical value.

  29. Pass this along to colleagues if the topic comes up, the framing here is sensible, and a stop at easyshoppingplace adds more useful angles to share, the kind of content that improves conversations rather than just feeding them is what makes a resource genuinely valuable in professional contexts going forward over time and across project boundaries too.

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

  31. A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at clicktofindclarity extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.

  32. After reading several posts back to back the consistent voice across them is impressive, and a stop at globaltrustpartnerships continued that voice consistency, sites that maintain a single coherent voice across many pieces by potentially many writers represent serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed the institutional consistency needed for that.

  33. Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at urbanbuyingstore confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.

  34. During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at professionalcollaborationbonds continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.

  35. Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at harborline added more details to think about, this is exactly the kind of content I bookmark for future reference rather than the throwaway listicles that dominate most search results these days for almost any common topic.

  36. Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at exploregrowthideas pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.

  37. Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at strategiccorporatealliances 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.

  38. Comfortable reading experience throughout, no jarring tone shifts and no awkward formatting, and a look at playufabetgames kept that smooth feel going, the kind of editorial polish that goes unnoticed when present but glaring when absent is something this site has clearly invested in across the broader content as well which deserves recognition.

  39. Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at professionaltrustalliances was the same, no upsell and no fake urgency just steady content laid out properly for someone trying to actually learn from it rather than just be sold to.

  40. A nicely understated post that does not shout for attention, and a look at clickforstrategicplanning maintained the same quiet quality, understatement is a stylistic choice that distinguishes serious writing from attention seeking writing and this site has clearly committed to the understated approach as a core editorial value rather than just a phase.

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

  42. Definitely returning here, that is decided, and a look at learnandimprovecontinuously only made the case stronger, this is one of those rare websites that rewards regular visits rather than feeling stale after the first read which is something I cannot say about most of the places I bookmark today across all my topics.

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

  44. Appreciate the practical examples, they made the abstract points easier to grasp, and a stop at smartdealpurchasecenter added more of the same, this site clearly understands that real examples beat empty theory every single time which is the mark of a writer who knows their audience well and respects their time.

  45. Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at globalbusinessunity produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.

  46. Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at modernshoppinginfrastructure 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. Glad I gave this a chance rather than scrolling past, and a stop at discovermodernstrategies confirmed I made the right call, sometimes the best content is hidden behind unassuming headlines that do not scream for attention and learning to slow down and check those out has paid off many times now across years of reading.

  48. Took my time with this rather than rushing because the writing rewards attention, and after digitalcommercebuying I had even more to absorb, the kind of content that pays back the patient reader rather than punishing them with empty filler is something I look for and rarely find in regular searches lately.

  49. Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to buildlongtermbusinessvision 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.

  50. I appreciate the clarity here, everything is explained in simple terms without unnecessary detail, and after a quick stop at buildyourfuturepath the points came together nicely for me, the writing keeps things straightforward and respects the reader from start to finish without ever talking down to anyone.
