Bandit leader Turji offers  conditions for collaboration to halt the bloodshed in Zamfara

Notorious bandit leader, Bello Turji has given conditions to stop the bloodbath in Zamfara State.

Turji warned that airstrikes won’t stop banditry operations, hence the need for a peace talks to end bandit attacks.

Speaking in his latest video, the bandit leader said the armed conflict in Zamfara State predated both Governor Lawal Dauda and Minister of State for Defence Bello Matawalle.

He disclosed that bandits have been in operation since the time of former governor Ahmed Yerima.

“It was during the administration of Yerima that the government sold out the grazing reserve and legalised the killing of the Fulanis. When Muhmud Shinkafi came on board, he tried unsuccessfully to address the problem. Abdulaziz Yari came and empowered the vigilante, but we are still struggling.

“This is why we are calling on all of you to come and collaborate with us for peace to reign and stop the bloodbath in Zamfara. Gun and airstrike will not stop us because we are not afraid of death,” Turji said.
