A notorious bandit leader, Bello Turji, reportedly hosted an elaborate Eid celebration in Magira, Isa Local Government Area (LGA) of Sokoto State, before moving to Fadamar Lugu in the same LGA, where he and his gang brutally killed 12 people and injured one person on Tuesday.
The development was revealed in a post on X by security analyst Bakatsine on Wednesday.
According to Bakatsine, Turji and his men had gathered in Magira for an Eid feast, attended by bandits from neighboring Zamfara State. After the celebration, they proceeded to Fadamar Lugu, where they unleashed terror on innocent residents.
“Bandit leader Bello Turji hosted an Eid celebration in Magira, Isa LGA, with bandits from Zamfara State. After the feast, he moved to Fadamar Lugu in Isa LGA, Sokoto State, killing 12 people & injuring one person just for fun,” Bakatsine wrote in his post.
Turji is one of the most wanted bandits in Nigeria who has been linked to numerous killings, kidnappings, and attacks across Sokoto and Zamfara States.
In December 2021, Turji and his gang members set a bus-load of passengers ablaze, burning the passengers inside to death with 30 people dying.
