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 dinahshorewexler 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. Now noticing that the post benefited from being neither too short nor too long for its content, and a look at manilatakeout continued that calibration of length, sites that match length to content rather than padding to hit some target are sites that respect both their material and their readers and this site does both.

  3. Came back to this an hour later to reread a specific section, and a quick visit to christmasatthewindmill also drew a second look, content that pulls you back rather than letting you move on permanently is the kind I want to fill my browser bookmarks with in 2026 and beyond as the open internet evolves.

  4. Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at trivoxbond extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.

  5. Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at raviontrust suggested I will share more from here later, content worth sharing into a professional context is content that has earned a higher kind of trust than mere personal interest and this site has it.

  6. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at vixarotrustco only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.

  7. Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at korivoholdings 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.

  8. Strong recommendation, anyone interested in this topic owes themselves a visit, and a stop at crownking88 extends that recommendation across more of the site, this is the kind of resource that makes me more optimistic about the state of the open web than I usually am these days actually for once which is genuinely refreshing.

  9. Now understanding why someone recommended this site to me a while back, and a stop at plivoxbonding explained the recommendation, sometimes recommendations make sense only after experience and this site has finally clicked into place as the kind of resource I now understand was being recommended for sound editorial reasons by my friend.

  10. Useful read, especially because the writer did not assume too much background from the reader, and a quick look at brixeltrustco continued in the same way, a thoughtful site that meets people where they are which is something the modern web could use a lot more of for both casual and serious readers.

  11. 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 trustedcommercialbonds 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.

  12. Took a quick scan first and then went back to read properly because the post deserved it, and a stop at adawebcreative kept me reading carefully too, the kind of writing that earns a slower second pass rather than getting skimmed and forgotten is something I value highly when I happen to find it.

  13. Now considering whether the post would translate well into a different form, and a look at motocitee suggested similar versatility, content that could move into other media without losing its substance is content that has been built around ideas rather than around format and this site reads as idea first throughout posts.

  14. A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at rixarotrustco 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.

  15. Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at repealthecap kept that quiet confidence going across the site, this is what writing looks like when the writer trusts the content to land on its own without theatrics or unnecessary attention seeking behaviour.

  16. Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at successmarketboutique similarly rewarded reflective time, content that benefits from sitting with rather than racing past is the kind I want more of and the kind that this site appears to consistently produce week after week here.

  17. Skipped lunch to finish reading, which says something, and a stop at flexibledigitalshopping kept me at my desk longer than planned, when content beats the lunch impulse the writer has done something genuinely impressive in an attention environment full of immediately satisfying alternatives competing for the same finite block of reader time.

  18. Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at zurix kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.

  19. Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at answermodern added more pages I will mention to them, recommending sites to specific people requires understanding both the site and the person and this site is making those personalised recommendations easy and natural for me.

  20. Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at quvexatrustco 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.

  21. A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at vixaropoint confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.

  22. Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at nolarocore kept me in that careful reading mode, the kind of writing that demands attention by being worth attention is rare in a media environment full of content engineered to be skimmed not read with any real focus today.

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

  24. Now adding this to a list of sites I want to see flourish, and a stop at nohonabe reinforced that wish, the few sites I actively root for are sites that produce the kind of work I want more of in the world and this one has joined that small list based on what I have read so far.

  25. Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at mivarobase 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.

  26. Reading this gave me a small framework I expect to use going forward, and a stop at trivoxline extended that framework, content that produces transferable mental models rather than just specific facts is content with multiplicative value and this site is providing those models at a rate that justifies extra attention from me regularly.

  27. Granted my mood today might be elevating my reading experience but I still think this is genuinely good, and a stop at vipelitejerseys reinforced that even discounted assessment, controlling for the mood adjustment that affects content perception this site still reads as substantively above average across multiple pieces I have read carefully today.

  28. Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after rixarocapital I had even more to chew on, the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.

  29. Right — been using this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.

    How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never figure out what an each way return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.

    Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you put in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk]bet calculator single[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    One thing that actually shifted things for me was the nerdier tools. The probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.

    Couple of gripes. The design is very functional, let’s say — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.

    Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, try it — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

  30. Came in skeptical of the angle and left mostly persuaded, and a stop at mivaroline pushed me a bit further in the same direction, content that can move a critical reader by argument rather than rhetoric is rare and worth pointing out because it indicates real substance underneath the surface presentation here.

  31. Clean writing, easy to read, and never tries too hard to impress, that combination is harder to find than people think, and after my time on xeviroline I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.

  32. Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at theblackcrowesmobile extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.

  33. Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at themetalsuckfest 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.

  34. If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at discoverprofessionalinsights extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.

  35. Skipped the social share buttons but might come back to actually use one later, and a stop at nixaroholdings extended that share urge, content that triggers genuine sharing impulses rather than performative ones is content that has actually moved me and not many posts in a typical week do that for me actually.

  36. Appreciate the work that went into laying this out so clearly, every section earns its place without filler, and a look at vsmphotography confirmed the same care, definitely the kind of place that deserves a return visit when the topic comes up again later in the future or for any related question.

  37. This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at musionet kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.

  38. If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at trendingnewsfeed extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.

  39. Felt the post handled a sensitive angle of the topic with appropriate care, and a look at zylavobond 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.

  40. Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at plivoxgroup pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.

  41. The lack of unnecessary jargon made the post accessible without sacrificing accuracy, and a look at ulviontrustco 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.

  42. A satisfying piece in the way that good meals are satisfying rather than just filling, and a look at quorly extended that satisfaction, the metaphor between content and meals is one I find useful and this site reads as a satisfying meal rather than the empty calories that most content provides for casual readers.

  43. Looking through the archives suggests this site has been doing this for a while at this level, and a look at wellthwithcallie confirmed the long term consistency, sites that have maintained quality across years rather than just a recent stretch are sites with serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly been at it for a while.

  44. Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at ravioncapital extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.

  45. If quality blog writing is dying as people sometimes claim then this site is one piece of evidence that it has not died yet, and a look at zexaroforge extended that evidence, the broader cultural question about online writing has empirical answers in specific sites and this one is contributing to a more optimistic answer overall.

  46. Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at brixelbondgroup 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.

  47. 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.

  48. Reading this on a phone at a coffee shop and finding it perfectly suited to that context, and a stop at ieeb continued the comfortable mobile experience, content that works across reading conditions without compromising on substance is increasingly important and this site has clearly thought about the whole reader experience here.

  49. Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at nixarobond drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.
