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. Glad I gave this a chance rather than scrolling past, and a stop at korivotrustco 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.

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

  3. Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at regina4congress added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.

  4. Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at madeleinemtbc only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.

  5. Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at PeaceLandWorld 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.

  6. Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to xevirobonding confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.

  7. Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at nycbhm 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.

  8. Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week, and a look at georgetowndowntownmasterplan 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.

  9. Liked the careful selection of which details to include and which to skip, and a stop at 28darlingstreet reflected the same editorial judgement, knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to include and this site has clearly figured out where that line sits for the topics it covers regularly.

  10. Picked up two new ideas that I expect will come up in conversations this week, and a look at newlywedstour added another, content that arms me with talking points rather than just filling time is the kind that provides ongoing value beyond the moment of reading and this site is generating that kind of ongoing value.

  11. Came in confused about the topic and left with a much firmer grasp on it, and after nixaropact I felt I could explain this to someone else without hesitation, that is the gold standard for any educational content and most sites simply fail to reach it ever which is unfortunate but true.

  12. Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to spiritoftheaerodrome 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.

  13. Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at trustedonlineshoppingcenter confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.

  14. Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at 4countiesrecovery extended that adjustment, content that affects my structural understanding rather than just my factual knowledge is content with deeper impact and this site is providing those structural updates at a meaningful rate consistently across topics.

  15. Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at theberserkeriscoming produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.

  16. Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at opensky-inc reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.

  17. Reading this in a quiet coffee shop matched the calm energy of the writing, and a stop at electamandamurphy 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.

  18. Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at toddstarnesbooktour 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.

  19. Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at emeryflowers confirmed that placement, the difference between sites I want to follow and sites I just consume from is real and this one has crossed into the active follow category from the casual consumption side.

  20. Came back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at quvexatrustgroup suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.

  21. Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at licsupport 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.

  22. Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at korivocapital extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.

  23. Honestly enjoyed not being sold anything for the entire duration of the post, and a look at ygavexaudition2024 kept that pleasant absence going across more pages, content that exists for its own sake rather than as a funnel to a paid product is increasingly rare and worth supporting where I can find it.

  24. A nicely understated post that does not shout for attention, and a look at mdcantaffordjealous maintained the same quiet quality, understatement is a stylistic choice that distinguishes serious writing from attention seeking writing and this site has clearly committed to the understated approach as a core editorial value rather than just a phase.

  25. Genuine reaction is that I will probably think about this on and off for a few days, and a look at saveshelterpets added fuel to that, the best content lingers in your head after you close the tab rather than evaporating immediately and this site clearly knows how to write that kind of memorable content.

  26. Reading this slowly to give it the attention it deserved, and a stop at knightstablefoodpantry earned the same slow read, choosing to read slowly is a small act of respect for content quality and very few sites earn that respect from me but this one did so without any explicit ask which is the cleanest way.

  27. Working through this site has been a small antidote to the shallow content that fills most of my reading time, and a stop at PapaMasque 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.

  28. Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at tabitoshigoto extended that feeling across more pages, the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.

  29. Generally my comment to other readers about new sites is to wait and see but for this one I would jump to recommend now, and a look at dearsparrows reinforced that early recommendation, the speed at which a site earns my recommendation is itself a quality signal and this one has earned mine quickly clearly.

  30. Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at 34crooke reinforced that, you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.

  31. Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at discoveractionableideas maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.

  32. A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at ShopWhatTheFreak 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.

  33. Now adding this to a list of sites I want to see flourish, and a stop at muralspotting 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.

  34. Reading this slowly to give it the attention it deserved, and a stop at neviroroot earned the same slow read, choosing to read slowly is a small act of respect for content quality and very few sites earn that respect from me but this one did so without any explicit ask which is the cleanest way.

  35. High quality writing, no marketing speak and no buzzwords that mean nothing, and a stop at quvexaline kept that going, simple direct content that actually communicates something is harder to find than it should be and this is one of the rare places that gets it right consistently across many different posts.

  36. Bookmark earned, share earned, return visit earned, all from one reading session, and a look at christmasintheparkuk did the same, the trifecta of bookmark and share and return is rare in a single visit and represents the highest level of engagement I tend to offer any piece of online content these days here.

  37. Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at douglasand55 maintained that distinctive feel, sites with strong editorial identity stand out against the bland background of algorithmic content and this one has clearly developed an identity worth recognising through careful attention.

  38. Thanks for the clean writing, no broken sentences and no awkward translations like some other sites have, and a quick stop at bigprintnewspapers kept that polish going nicely, it really does make a difference when a reader can move through a page without tripping on every line or going back to reread.

  39. Without comparing too aggressively to other sources this one stands out for the right reasons, and a look at tahwla continued that distinctive quality, content that distinguishes itself through substance rather than style tricks is content with lasting differentiation and this site has clearly chosen substance based differentiation as its core editorial strategy.

  40. Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at myvetcoach continued that pattern of under promising and over delivering, the rarest combination on the modern web where most content does the opposite by promising the world and delivering thin recycled summaries instead each time you click on something interesting.

  41. Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after DividedHeartsOfAmericaFilm I was sure I would come back, that does not happen often when most sites bury the useful parts under endless ads and pop ups today and across most categories online.

  42. Even across multiple posts the writers voice has remained consistent in a way I appreciate, and a stop at ChristmasAtTheWindmill 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.

  43. 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 albanysuperducks 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.

  44. Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at mcctheatercampaign 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.

  45. Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at loftsonlex 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.

  46. Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at clickforstrategicplanning 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.

  47. Going to share this with a friend who has been asking the same questions for a while now, and a stop at skyigolf added a few more pages I will pass along too, this is the kind of generous information that earns a small thank you from me right now and again later this week.

  48. This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at cepjournal 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.

  49. Solid value packed into a relatively short post, that takes skill, and a look at velro continues the dense useful content across more pages, this site clearly understands that respecting reader time is itself a form of generosity which is something most blog operations seem to have forgotten lately across the wider open web.

  50. Once I trust a site this much I tend to read everything they publish and that is the trajectory I am on with this one, and a stop at catherinewburton confirmed the trajectory, the rare progression from interested reader to comprehensive reader is something only certain sites earn and this one is earning that progression rapidly.
