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.






Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at qelaroflow kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.
Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at nolix kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.
A piece that did not try to be timeless and ended up reading as durable anyway, and a look at rixaroline extended that durable feel, content that stays useful past its publication date without straining for permanence is content that ages well and this site has the kind of evergreen quality that I value highly today.
A piece that handled a controversial angle without becoming heated, and a look at quvexashop continued that calm engagement, content that can address contested topics without inflaming them is doing rare diplomatic work and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to handle sensitive material with the appropriate temperature of writing throughout.
Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at banehmagic continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.
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 secureecommercebuying 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.
Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at astrobrunch 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.
Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at pelvo 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.
Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at globalbusinessalliances extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.
A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at professionalcollaborationbonds extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.
Liked the way the post got out of its own way, and a stop at xelivohub extended that invisible craft, the best writing you barely notice while reading because it is doing its work without drawing attention to itself and this site has clearly mastered that disappearing act across the pieces I have read.
I usually skim posts like these but this one held my attention all the way through, and a stop at freespeechcolation did the same, that is a strong endorsement coming from me because I am usually quick to bounce when content gets repetitive or fails to deliver on its initial promise made in the headline.
Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at smartconsumerbuyingzone produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.
Reading this as part of my evening winding down routine fit perfectly, and a stop at maverounity extended the wind down nicely, content that calms rather than agitates is what I want at the end of the day and this site provides that calming reading experience reliably which is increasingly rare across the modern web.
Most of the time I bounce off similar pages within seconds, and a stop at zorivoholdings held me longer than I would have predicted, the ability to convert a likely bouncing visitor into an engaged reader is a quality signal and this site has demonstrated that conversion ability across multiple visits where I expected to bounce.
Generally my attention drifts on long posts but this one held it through the end, and a stop at xelivounion 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.
Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions, and a stop at nexra continued that agreement pattern, content that aligns with my existing views without seeming designed to do so is just content that happens to be reasonable and this site reads as reasonable rather than ideological mostly.
My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at suffragefilmfestival added more pages to my share queue, content that earns shares to specific people in specific contexts is content with social utility and this site is generating those targeted shares from me consistently lately.
Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing, and a stop at trusteddealmarketplace reinforced that discovery quality, the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.
Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at zylvo suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.
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 velra 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.
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 plavexpath 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.
Working through this site has been a small antidote to the shallow content that fills most of my reading time, and a stop at qorivopath extended that antidote function, sites that quietly improve the average quality of my reading by being themselves are sites worth supporting through return visits and recommendations consistently.
Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at plavexshop only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.
Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at korivomart confirmed the pattern, the difference between sites that hit quality occasionally and sites that hit it consistently is huge and this site has clearly demonstrated the consistent kind through what I have read this morning.
Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at quvexoria continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.
Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at learnbusinessskillsonline 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.
Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at rixon similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.
Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at maverocapital maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.
Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to rosetemplates I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.
Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at businessunityplatform 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.
Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at hanacapecoral kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.
A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at nixaromarket continued that organisational clarity, holding multiple threads in a single piece without losing any of them is a sign of skilled writing and this site has clearly developed the editorial discipline to manage complexity without sacrificing readability throughout.
Really grateful for content like this, it does not waste my time and it does not insult my intelligence either, and a quick look at flexibleshoppingoutlet was the same, balanced respectful writing that makes a person feel welcome rather than rushed through pages of forced engagement just to keep clicking around.
Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at qelarotrustline continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.
Liked the way the post got out of its own way, and a stop at pandemoniumtheshow extended that invisible craft, the best writing you barely notice while reading because it is doing its work without drawing attention to itself and this site has clearly mastered that disappearing act across the pieces I have read.
Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at auralbrick continued that engagement under suboptimal conditions, content that survives the reader being tired is content with extra reserves of pull and this site has the kind of writing that holds up even when I am not at my reading best.
Found a small mental shift after reading this, the framing here is just a bit different from the standard takes online, and a look at morvex extended that fresh perspective across more material, the rare site whose voice actually changes how you think about something rather than just confirming existing beliefs.
Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at navirotrustee 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.
Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to zorivocapital earned the same careful attention from me, that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.
Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at plixo kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.
Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at velixoholding reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.
Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at orvix reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.
Quality writing that respects the reader’s intelligence without overloading them, and a quick look at navix reflected that approach, a balanced thoughtful site that earns trust by being consistent rather than by shouting about how trustworthy it is which is the usual approach online sadly across most content categories.
Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at talents-affinity kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.
Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at professionalrelationshiphub 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.
A piece that did not lean on the writer credentials or institutional backing, and a look at zavirostore maintained the same focus on substance, content that earns trust through quality rather than through name dropping is the kind I find most persuasive and this site is clearly playing on the substance side of that distinction.
Speaking as someone who reads a lot on this topic this site has earned a high position in my source rankings, and a stop at qorivotrustline reinforced that ranking, the informal ranking of sources for a topic is something I maintain mentally and this site has moved into the upper portion of those rankings clearly.
Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at xaneropath extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.
Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at quvra extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.
