Notorious bandit leader Bello Turji has imposed a levy of N22 million on four villages in Sokoto State following the killing of one of his men during a military operation in the area. According to locals, the levy is also meant to compensate for firearms that went missing during the operation.
The affected villages, as confirmed by Hon. Aminu Boza, the member representing Sabon Birni West Constituency in the Sokoto State House of Assembly, include Garin Idi, the hometown of the state’s Deputy Governor, Engineer Idris Gobir. Boza also revealed that Turji has moved his base to the eastern part of Isa Local Government Area.
“He is just like a businessman who has multiple shops and is going round to supervise them. He is currently in the eastern part of Isa. That was where the villagers met him for negotiation, and he reduced the money from N25 million to N22 million," Boza said.
Expressing his frustration over the security situation, Boza criticized the military for not sustaining operations in the eastern part of Sokoto.
“I have always criticized the military for not sustaining their operation in the eastern part of Sokoto because anytime they withdraw, it is the villages that bear the brunt. Because the bandits always vent their anger on the villagers.
“The Ministers of Defence have visited Sokoto about four times and assured our people that banditry would soon be a thing of the past. But look at it, the bandits are still attacking our people. A few days ago, they killed six operatives of the Sokoto Community Guards. I am appealing to the military to intensify and sustain their operation in the eastern part of Sokoto. This is the only way to restore total peace in the area.”
Boza also disclosed that Turji has demanded N250,000 ransom from each of the families of the 13 worshippers abducted about two weeks ago in Sabon Birni Local Government. “They have so far released five captives after their families paid the money,” he said.
