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. Solid post, the structure is easy to follow and the language stays simple even when the topic gets a bit more involved, and a look at zarvo kept that same standard going, so I left feeling like the time spent here was actually worth something for once which is rare lately.

  2. Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at clicktofindbusinessclarity the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.

  3. Bookmark earned and shared the link with one specific person who would care, and a look at morixostead got the same targeted share, sharing carefully rather than broadcasting is a discipline I try to maintain and this site is generating shares from me at a sustainable rate rather than the spam rate of viral content.

  4. Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets, and a stop at clicktoexploreopportunities extended that elevated framing, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is serving a quiet but important editorial function for the broader cultural conversation about it.

  5. A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at qorivogroup maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.

  6. Decided this was the kind of site I would defend in a discussion about good blog content, and a stop at ravionbonded reinforced that, very few sites earn active defence rather than passive consumption and this one has clearly crossed that threshold for me without needing any explicit pitch from the writers themselves either.

  7. Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at ampleclove confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.

  8. 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 qulavoflow 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.

  9. Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at brixeltrust kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.

  10. In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at secureonlinebuyingplace extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.

  11. Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at strategicgrowthpartnerships extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.

  12. Skipped the comments section but might come back to read it, and a stop at zylavostore 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.

  13. Nice to see a post that does not try to overcomplicate the basics for the sake of looking smart, and once I looked at valuefocusedshoppinghub the same direct tone was there too, which honestly makes a difference when you are short on time and want answers without long pointless intros.

  14. Now planning to recommend this site in a context where my recommendations are taken seriously, and a stop at discoverbetterapproaches confirmed I should make that recommendation soon, the small but real act of recommending content into spaces where my taste matters is something I take seriously and this site is worth the recommendation.

  15. Now leaving a small mental note to recommend this when the topic comes up in conversation, and a look at ulvix extended that recommend ready feeling, content that arms me with shareable references for likely future conversations is content with social value and this site is providing that conversational ammunition consistently for me lately.

  16. Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at strategiccorporatealliances extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.

  17. Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at corporatetrustnetwork 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.

  18. Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to clickfornewperspectives reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.

  19. Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at trustedbusinessframework reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.

  20. Different in a good way from the cookie cutter content that fills most blogs covering this area, and a stop at enterprisevaluealliances kept showing me why, original thoughtful writing exists if you know where to look and this site has earned a place on my short list of those rare exceptions worth defending.

  21. Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at plexin suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.

  22. Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at zalvo also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.

  23. Reading this prompted me to dig into a related topic later, and a stop at zixor provided some of the starting points for that follow up reading, content that triggers further exploration rather than satisfying curiosity completely is content with real generative energy and this site has plenty of that energy throughout it.

  24. Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while, and a stop at clickforbusinesslearning 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.

  25. The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at voryx 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.

  26. Reading this gave me material for a conversation I needed to have anyway, and a stop at discoverbettersolutions added even more talking points, content that connects to upcoming social or professional needs rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my attention these days routinely.

  27. Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at everydaydigitalmarketplace continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.

  28. Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked zavix I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.

  29. My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at zylavoflow 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.

  30. Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at quvexacore reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.

  31. Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at businessrelationshipnetwork extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.

  32. Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at kavionpath 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.

  33. Reading this with a notebook open turned out to be the right move, and a stop at longtermvaluealliances added more material to the notes, content that justifies active note taking from a passive reader is content with real informational density and this site is producing notes worthy material at a high rate consistently.

  34. I appreciate the clarity here, everything is explained in simple terms without unnecessary detail, and after a quick stop at ravionstore 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.

  35. Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at businessunityplatform extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.

  36. Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at nolix continued that good feeling, content that leaves you better than it found you is rare and worth bookmarking when you stumble across it for the first time today or any other day really.

  37. Honest reaction is that this is the kind of writing I would defend in a conversation about good blog content, and a look at flexibledigitalshopping reinforced that, the rare site whose work I would actively recommend rather than just tolerate is the kind I want to support through return visits regularly.

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

  39. 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 trustedcorporateconnections kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.

  40. Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at androblink sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.

  41. Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at longtermbusinesspartnerships 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.

  42. Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at axory carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.

  43. Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at tavro extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  44. Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at yaverobonded reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.

  45. 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 xelvix 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.

  46. Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at discovergrowthopportunities 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.

  47. Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at qulix 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.

  48. Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at professionalbondsolutions only adds more reasons to send people this way, the kind of generous resource that benefits its readers without demanding anything in return is increasingly rare and worth recognising clearly today across the broader open internet.

  49. Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at smartdealpurchasecenter confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.

  50. Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at nolaroview similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.
