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. A quiet piece that did not try to compete on volume, and a look at velixotrustco maintained that selective approach, sites that publish less but better are increasingly rare in an environment that rewards volume and this one has clearly chosen quality cadence over quantity which is a brave editorial decision in current conditions.

  2. Solid value for anyone willing to read carefully, and a look at globalbusinessunity 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.

  3. Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at pelixotrustco extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.

  4. Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at savennkga 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.

  5. Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at suffragefilmfestival 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.

  6. Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at vixarobonding kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.

  7. Reading this in pieces over a coffee break and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at CelticKitchen extended that into related material I will return to later, the kind of site that fits naturally into small reading windows without requiring a long uninterrupted block is genuinely useful for how I actually browse.

  8. Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at fullertonrecall kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.

  9. Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at xevirotrust also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.

  10. Glad I clicked through from where I did because this turned out to be worth the time spent, and after zavirotrusthub I had a fuller picture, the kind of content that earns its visitors through delivering value rather than chasing them through aggressive advertising or constant pop ups appearing everywhere on the screen lately.

  11. Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at tatumsounds extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.

  12. Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at naviroline 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.

  13. Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at pgmbconsultancy kept the same level going, consistency like this across a site is the marker of a serious operation rather than a casual side project running on autopilot somewhere else.

  14. Bookmark earned, calendar reminder set, share queued, all from one good post, and a look at abbysauce did the same, when a single reading session triggers multiple downstream actions you know the content has actually moved me beyond the page and this site is moving me at that higher level reliably.

  15. Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at velon continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.

  16. Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at vixaroline kept the same flow going, you can tell when a writer has thought about how their content reads rather than just what it contains and this is one of those examples.

  17. Now leaving a small mental note to recommend this when the topic comes up in conversation, and a look at zaviroplex 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.

  18. A piece that prompted a small mental rearrangement of how I order related ideas, and a look at yungbludcomic extended that rearranging effect, content that affects the structure of my thinking rather than just adding to it is content with the deepest kind of impact and this site is reaching that depth for me today.

  19. Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at discoverprofessionalgrowth continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.

  20. My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at bantonwoodson 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.

  21. Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at xalirobonding kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.

  22. Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at pandemoniumtheshow kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.

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

  24. 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 nevirontrustco 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.

  25. A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at vexaroline continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.

  26. Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at AlmostFashionableMovie kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.

  27. Reading this in the gap between work projects was a small but meaningful break, and a stop at xelariocore 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.

  28. Comfortable reading experience throughout, no jarring tone shifts and no awkward formatting, and a look at vexaropartners kept that smooth feel going, the kind of editorial polish that goes unnoticed when present but glaring when absent is something this site has clearly invested in across the broader content as well which deserves recognition.

  29. Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at strategicgrowthpartnerships kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.

  30. Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at mivarocapital extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.

  31. Worth recognising that this site does not chase the daily news cycle, and a stop at vixarotrust confirmed the longer publication arc, sites that resist the pressure to comment on every passing event are sites with genuine editorial discipline and this one has clearly chosen depth over volume which I respect deeply.

  32. Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at pelixobond earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.

  33. 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 sunnyflowercases kept that same standard going, so I left feeling like the time spent here was actually worth something for once which is rare lately.

  34. Walked away in a slightly better mood than when I started reading, that says something about the writing, and a stop at rasecurities kept that going, content that leaves you feeling more capable rather than overwhelmed is the kind I keep coming back to again and again over the years and across many topics.

  35. Top quality material, deserves more attention than it probably gets, and a look at maverotrustco reflected the same effort across the site, a hidden gem in the modern web where most attention goes to whoever shouts loudest rather than whoever actually delivers the best content for their readers without much marketing fanfare.

  36. Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at dankglassonline reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.

  37. Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at fullertonrecall 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.

  38. Worth your time, that is the simplest endorsement I can give, and a stop at spikeisland2020 extends that endorsement across the rest of the site, this is one of those increasingly rare places that delivers on what it promises rather than over selling the content and under delivering on substance every time which I find frustrating elsewhere.

  39. OK — been on this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, small stakes, for context.

    How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.

    The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows returns straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/super-heinz]super heinz calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

    One thing that actually made a difference was the nerdier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.

    It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is pretty plain — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.

    Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.

  40. Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at morix only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.

  41. Decided this was the kind of site I would defend in a discussion about good blog content, and a stop at longtermvaluepartnership 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.

  42. Genuine reaction is that this site clicked with how I like to read, and a look at zylavocore kept that comfortable fit going, sometimes you find a place online whose editorial decisions just align with your preferences and when that happens it is worth recognising and supporting through repeat engagement consistently going forward.

  43. A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at moeinclub maintained the same careful design, technical choices about typography are part of what makes online reading actually comfortable and this site has clearly invested in the design layer alongside the content layer carefully.

  44. If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at korivonext reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.

  45. Comfortable read, finished it without realising how much time had passed, and a look at cavarotrust pulled me into more pages the same way, the absence of friction in good content lets time disappear and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay any piece of writing I find online during a regular search session.

  46. Worth pointing out that the writing reads as confident without being defensive about it, and a look at LibertyCadillac 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.

  47. Honest reaction is that this is the kind of writing I would defend in a conversation about good blog content, and a look at corecompanynyc 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.

  48. Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at pg-o2o continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.

  49. Started thinking about my own writing differently after reading, and a look at ravionline continued that reflective effect, content that influences how I work rather than just informing what I know is content with the highest kind of impact and this site has triggered some of that reflective influence today on me.
