The Zamfara State Committee on Prosecutions of Bandits Related Offences says until Bello Turji, the Notorious Bandit Kingpin publicly surrenders his arms and announces his repentance, it will not consider his repentance true, IgbereTV reports
Chairman of the committee, Abdullahi Shinkafi, said this at a press briefing in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital on…
Shinkafi, who is also from Shinkafi Local Government where Turji mostly operates, said for over six months, there was no record of attack or mass abduction of persons in the area and other communities in Zurmi Local Government and neighbouring Isa and Sabon-Birnin areas of Sokoto State.
He, however, said the lack of attack does not mean the bandit who unleashed terror and killings in the region has changed for the better.
“As far as I am concern, I know that he has embraced peace but I cannot say that he has repented because if he has repented, he has to surrender all his arms and ammunitions, come to the government and submit his arms like what other repentant bandits did,” Shinkafi said
