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. Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at blog33night was the same, no upsell and no fake urgency just steady content laid out properly for someone trying to actually learn from it rather than just be sold to.

  2. Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at bondprimex 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.

  3. Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at blog33race reinforced that intention, the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.

  4. Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at focusenergizesprogress rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.

  5. Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at ordersure expanded what I will be sharing with them, this is the kind of resource that makes a real difference when you are trying to point a friend to something useful and reliable rather than generic marketing pages.

  6. Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at questlink continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.

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

  8. Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access, and a look at softpasture earned the same organisational priority, the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.

  9. Really appreciate that the writer did not stretch the post to hit some target word count, the points end when they are made, and a stop at datawoods reflected the same discipline, brevity is generosity in disguise and this site has clearly figured that out far better than most blog operations have.

  10. Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at everydaypurchaseplatform added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.

  11. Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at appfactor hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.

  12. Glad to have another reliable bookmark for this topic, and a look at heliodomain suggested several more pages I will be marking too, building a personal library of trustworthy resources is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is earning a place on my permanent shortlist for the topic.

  13. Now feeling the quiet pleasure of finding writing that takes itself seriously without being self serious, and a stop at softorchard extended that subtle pleasure, the gap between earnest and pretentious is fine and this site has clearly chosen to land on the earnest side without slipping over into pretentious which is impressive.

  14. Just wanted to say this was useful and leave a small note of thanks, and a quick visit to flowdomain earned a similar nod from me, the small acknowledgements add up over time and represent the real economy of trust that good content runs on across the open and increasingly fragmented modern internet.

  15. A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at urbanspot produced the same fit, when the writer audience match clicks naturally without being engineered through demographic targeting you know the writing is solid and this site has that natural fit consistently for me.

  16. If I had to defend the time I spend reading independent blogs this site would feature in the defence, and a look at quartzdash reinforced that defensive utility, the ongoing case for non algorithmic reading is one I make to myself periodically and sites like this one provide the actual evidence that supports the case clearly.

  17. Thanks for the clean writing, no broken sentences and no awkward translations like some other sites have, and a quick stop at blog44two 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.

  18. Reading this triggered a small change in how I think about the topic going forward, and a stop at roamflow reinforced that subtle shift, the rare content that actually moves my thinking rather than just confirming or filling it is the kind I most value and this site is providing that kind of impact today.

  19. Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at queryqube earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.

  20. The whole experience of reading this was pleasant from start to finish, no pop ups and no annoying interruptions, and a look at blog44market continued that clean experience, technical choices about page design matter for the reader and this site clearly cares about the small details that add up to comfort across multiple visits.

  21. Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at gridcloud confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.

  22. Now planning a longer reading session for the archives, and a stop at readyperk confirmed the archives are worth that longer commitment, sites with archives I want to read deliberately rather than just sample are rare and this one has clearly earned that level of interest based on the consistency of what I have already read.

  23. Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at devsapling continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.

  24. Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at mimisonline did not change that at all, this is one of the better corners of the open internet for this kind of content and I am glad I clicked through rather than skipping past quickly like I usually do.

  25. Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic, and a stop at growthnavigator pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources, the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.

  26. Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at bondcrest reinforced that defence list, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.

  27. After reading several posts back to back the consistent voice across them is impressive, and a stop at visionmapping continued that voice consistency, sites that maintain a single coherent voice across many pieces by potentially many writers represent serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed the institutional consistency needed for that.

  28. Different in a good way from the cookie cutter content that fills most blogs covering this area, and a stop at softvalley 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.

  29. Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at whimsywagon reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.

  30. Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at worktrove 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.

  31. Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at softreef confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.

  32. Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at datanoble 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.

  33. Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at iansoconnor 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.

  34. Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at icestbon reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.

  35. Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at echoemporium 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.

  36. Started believing the writer knew the topic deeply by about the second paragraph, and a look at solidengine reinforced that confidence, the speed at which a writer establishes credibility through their writing is a useful quality signal and this writer establishes it quickly and quietly without resorting to credential dropping or self promotion.

  37. Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at discoverbusinessdirections 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.

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

  39. Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at appafluent 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.

  40. If I had to defend the time I spend reading independent blogs this site would feature in the defence, and a look at luckyspin-lapakslot reinforced that defensive utility, the ongoing case for non algorithmic reading is one I make to myself periodically and sites like this one provide the actual evidence that supports the case clearly.

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

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

  43. Liked the way the post handled the final paragraph, no neat bow but no abrupt cutoff either, and a stop at utilityview continued that thoughtful ending pattern, endings are hard and most blog writers either over engineer them or skip them entirely and this site has clearly figured out a sustainable middle approach.

  44. Solid value packed into a relatively short post, that takes skill, and a look at longtermalliances 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.

  45. Liked everything about the experience, from the opening through to the closing notes, and a stop at blog33point extended that into more pages, finding a site where the editorial vision shows through every choice rather than feeling random is an increasingly rare experience and one I am glad to have today during this particular reading session.

  46. Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at amberapp reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.

  47. Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at cloudberrymarket 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.

  48. Thanks for putting this online without locking it behind email signups or paywalls, and a quick visit to enterprisegrowthpartnerships kept that open feel going, content that trusts the reader to come back rather than gating access is the kind of approach I will reward with regular return visits over time happily.

  49. Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at blog33mean reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.

  50. Now recognising that the post handled the topic with appropriate technical precision without becoming dry, and a stop at verasync continued that balance, technical precision and readability are often in tension and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain both at once which is one of the harder editorial achievements in the form.
