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.






Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at clicktoexploreideas 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.
Reading this in the gap between work projects was a small but meaningful break, and a stop at trustedcorporateconnections extended that gentle reset, content that provides genuine refreshment rather than just distraction during work breaks is content with a particular kind of utility and this site fits that role for me reliably during work days.
Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at securemarketbuyingplace 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.
Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at globalbusinessrelationshiphub 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.
Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at zenvaxo 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.
Glad I gave this a chance rather than scrolling past, and a stop at discovernewbusinesspaths 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.
Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at businessrelationshipnetwork kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.
Solid value for anyone willing to read carefully, and a look at globalbusinessrelationshiphub extends that value across the rest of the site, this is the kind of place that rewards return visits rather than offering everything in a single splashy post and then leaving readers nothing to come back for later which is unfortunately common.
Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while, and a stop at securecommercialalliances extended that mild impression, content that produces specific positive emotional responses rather than just neutral information transfer is content with extra dimensions and this site has those extra dimensions clearly.
Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at bondedcompass only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.
Worth pointing out the careful word choice in this post, no buzzwords and no jargon, and a look at globalenterprisebonds continued that disciplined vocabulary, sites that resist the pull of trendy language are sites that will read well in five years and this one is clearly built for that kind of long durability.
Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at globalenterprisebonds continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.
Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at explorelongtermopportunities maintained the same balance, knowing when to assert and when to acknowledge uncertainty is a sign of mature thinking and the writers here have clearly developed that calibration through what I assume is years of careful work on their craft.
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 modernshoppingecosystem 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.
Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at globalshoppinginfrastructure extended that protected attention, content that earns the prime morning reading slot before the daily distractions begin is content with elevated status and this site has earned that prime slot consistently in my recent reading habits clearly.
Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at professionaltrustalliances 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.
Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at globalretailcommercehub earned the same careful approach, the few sites that warrant slower reading are sites I now treat differently from the daily content stream and this one has clearly moved into that elevated treatment category.
Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note, and a look at clicktofindstrategicoptions continued that arc, content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.
A piece that read as the work of someone who reads carefully themselves, and a look at trusteddealstore continued that informed feel, writers who are also serious readers produce work with a different quality and this site reads as the product of someone steeped in good writing rather than just generating content for an audience.
Now thinking the topic is more interesting than I had given it credit for, and a stop at smartbuyingcorner 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.
The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at businessgrowthpartnerships added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.
Nice and clean, that is the best way to describe the writing here, no clutter and no wasted words, and a quick visit to valuebasedshoppingonline kept that going, I appreciate when a site treats its readers like people who can think for themselves without needing constant hand holding through every paragraph.
Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at clicktofindclarity 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.
The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at onlineconsumerbuying continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.
Even across multiple posts the writers voice has remained consistent in a way I appreciate, and a stop at everydaypurchaseplatform continued that voice, sites that maintain editorial consistency across many pieces have something most sites lack and this one has clearly worked out how to keep its voice steady across what reads as a growing archive.
Reading this in a quiet hour and finding it suited the quiet, and a stop at clicktoadvanceknowledge extended the quiet reading mood, content that matches its own optimal reading conditions rather than fighting them is content that has been thoughtfully calibrated and this site reads as having a particular reading mood in mind throughout.
Reading this in a quiet coffee shop matched the calm energy of the writing, and a stop at globaldigitalshoppingmarket extended that environmental match, content that has its own ambient quality which can match or clash with surroundings is content with a personality and this site has the kind of personality that suits calm reading.
Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at clickforgrowthinsights 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.
Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at professionalbusinessbonding 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.
Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at clicktoexplorefutures reflected that same care, a rare thing on the open web these days where most pages exist for clicks rather than actual reader value or anything close to that which is honestly a real shame.
A welcome reminder that thoughtful writing still happens online, and a look at learnfromexpertinsights 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.
Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at bluecrestbond 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.
Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week, and a look at globalcommercialalliances added a few more I will be testing alongside, content with practical hooks that connect to my actual life is the kind that earns my repeat attention rather than the merely interesting that I forget within a day.
A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure, and a look at explorebusinessopportunities 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.
A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at airycargo continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.
Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at urbanretailshoppingzone 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.
Really appreciate that the writer did not overstate the importance of the topic to make the post feel weightier, and a quick visit to clicktolearnstrategically maintained the same modest framing, content that is honest about its own scope rather than inflating itself is the kind I trust and return to repeatedly over time.
Solid recommendation from me to anyone working in the area, the perspective here is grounded, and a look at startyournextmove 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.
Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after growwithrightchoices I have even more reason to do so, the kind of site that earns word of mouth rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing or paid placements is always a treat to find online.
The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at nextlevelshoppingexperience kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.
Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at learnbusinessskillsonline added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.
Worth pointing out that the writing reads as confident without being defensive about it, and a look at buildsmartergrowthpaths extended that secure tone, content that does not pre emptively argue against imagined critics has a different quality from defensive writing and this site reads as written from a place of real ease.
Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to buildfuturefocusedpaths 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.
Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post, and a stop at discoveractionableideas confirmed the rest of the site packs a similar punch, density without confusion is a hard balance to strike and this site has clearly cracked the code on it across many different topic areas covered.
Reading this site over the past week has changed how I evaluate content in this space, and a look at discoverprofessionalgrowth 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.
Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at longtermvaluealliances would also serve in that future piece, content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.
Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at onlineconsumerbuying extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.
Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at corporatetrustnetwork 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.
This one is staying open in a tab for the rest of the day so I can come back and re read certain parts, and a look at globalvaluebuyingstore suggests I will be doing the same with a few more pages here too, this is going to be a deep dive over the coming hours.
If you asked me to point to a recent positive sign for the open web this site would be near the top, and a stop at globaltrustrelationshipnetwork reinforced that designation, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce quality independent content are precious and this one has clearly become one for me.
