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.






My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at businesstrustinfrastructure keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.
Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at easyonlinepurchasecenter reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.
Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at trustedenterpriseconnections 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.
The lack of unnecessary jargon made the post accessible without sacrificing accuracy, and a look at discovergrowthroadmaps continued in the same accessible style, technical topics often hide behind specialised vocabulary but here the writer trusts the reader to keep up with plain language and that trust pays off nicely throughout the entire post.
Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at clickforstrategicplanning continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.
Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at secureecommercebuying produced the same considered closing, when reading ends with deliberate satisfaction rather than impatient skip you know the time was well spent and this site is producing those satisfying endings consistently across what I read.
Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at easypurchasecenter continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.
Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at trustedcorporatebonding 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.
Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at horizonanchor produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.
More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at futurefocusedcommerce 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.
Honestly enjoyed every minute spent here, that is not something I say lightly, and a look at futureorientedretailshop confirmed I will be back, the bar for spending time online is high for me these days but this site clears it without effort which is high praise indeed from this reader who is usually rather demanding.
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at globalretailcommercehub continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.
Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at sustainablebusinesspartnerships suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.
Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at discovernewgrowthpaths 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.
Decent post that improved my afternoon a small amount, and a look at clickforbetterdecisions added a bit more to that, sometimes the small wins online add up over time and a useful site like this one is the kind of place that contributes consistently to those small wins for me lately across many different topics I follow.
Felt the post handled a sensitive angle of the topic with appropriate care, and a look at strategicbusinessalliances extended that careful handling across related material, sites that can navigate delicate territory without causing damage are rare and require a level of judgement that comes from experience rather than from following any clear playbook.
Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at trustedenterprisealliances 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.
Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at discovernewbusinesspaths did the same, content that earns sustained attention in an environment full of distractions is doing something right and this site is clearly doing several things right rather than just one or two which I really appreciate.
Worth flagging that this approach to the topic is fresh without being contrarian, and a stop at simpleonlineshoppingzone extended the same fresh angle, finding original perspective on familiar subjects is rare and this site has clearly developed its own way of seeing rather than echoing the dominant takes from elsewhere consistently.
Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at trustedmarketalliances 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.
Took my time with this rather than rushing because the writing rewards attention, and after globalpartnershipinfrastructure 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.
Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at zenvani kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.
A piece that did not lecture even when it had clear positions, and a look at discovernewdirections maintained the same teaching without preaching tone, finding the line between informing and lecturing is hard and most sites land on the wrong side of it but this one has clearly figured out how to inform without becoming preachy.
Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at nextlevelpurchasehub reinforced that immediate quality, content that does not require a slow careful read to demonstrate value but rewards one anyway is content with real depth and this site has produced work of that demanding depth class.
Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at flexibledigitalshopping provided ammunition for a third share, content that suits multiple audiences without being generic enough to be useless to any of them is genuinely valuable and this site has that multi audience quality clearly.
Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at clicktoexpandknowledgebase 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.
Really like the way the post resists reaching for cliches that would have made it feel generic, and a quick visit to modernbuyingstore kept that fresh feel going, original phrasing and unexpected metaphors are signs that the writer is actually thinking rather than just stitching together familiar phrases into the appearance of content.
Reading this in pieces during a long afternoon and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at exploreprofessionaldevelopment fit naturally into the same fragmented reading pattern, sites whose posts can be read in segments without losing the thread are well suited to how I actually read these days and this one is built well.
Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at learnfromexpertinsights reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.
Now thinking about whether the writer might publish a longer form work I would buy, and a look at corporatecollaborationnetwork suggested the same depth would translate, content that makes me want to pay for related work in other formats is content that has earned commercial trust as well as attention trust and this site has both clearly.
Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at reliabledealshoppingplace 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.
Reading this confirmed that my time researching the topic in other places had not been wasted, and a stop at explorefuturepossibilities extended the confirmation, when independent sources agree that is a useful signal and this site is one of the more reliable sources I have found for cross checking what I read elsewhere on similar subjects.
Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at clicktofindstrategicoptions reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.
Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at trustedmarketrelationship 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.
Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at balancedtrust kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.
Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at digitalbuyingexperience kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.
Saving the link for sure, this one is a keeper, and a look at discoveractionableideas confirmed I should bookmark the entire site rather than just this page, the consistency across what I have seen so far suggests there is a lot more here worth coming back for soon when I have more time.
Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at easydigitalretail extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.
During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at growwithinformedchoices extended that perfect fit into the rest of the routine, content that matches the rhythm of how I actually read rather than demanding accommodation from my schedule is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has it.
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 urbanretailshoppingzone reflected the same discipline, brevity is generosity in disguise and this site has clearly figured that out far better than most blog operations have.
Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at securestrategicbonds kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.
Really liked the calm tone running through the post, no shouting and no urgency forced into the writing, and a look at learnandscaleintelligently kept that quiet confidence going, the kind of voice that makes the reader feel respected rather than yelled at which is depressingly common across most modern blog content these days.
Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at collaborativegrowthnetwork 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.
Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through createbetteroutcomes I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.
Skipped the comments section but might come back to read it, and a stop at buildyourstrategicfuture 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.
Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at discovernewbusinesspaths held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.
Without overstating it this is a quietly excellent post, and a look at enterprisevaluealliances extended that quiet excellence, content that earns superlatives without demanding them through marketing language is content that has truly earned them through the substance and this site has clearly produced work in that earned excellence category today.
Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at fastbuyingoutlet did the same, content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.
Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at clicktolearnstrategically kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.
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 sustainablebusinesspartnerships confirmed I should have just read it first, every section of this site appears to deserve careful attention rather than skipping past lazily.
