In a shocking development, notorious bandit leader Bello Turji reportedly hosted an elaborate Eid celebration in Magira, Isa Local Government Area (LGA) of Sokoto State, before leading his gang to brutally murder 12 people and injure one in Fadamar Lugu on Tuesday.
The revelation was made by security analyst Bakatsine in a post on X on Wednesday. According to him, Turji’s feast was attended by fellow bandits from neighboring Zamfara State, marking a brazen display of impunity.
Following the celebration, Turji and his men stormed Fadamar Lugu, unleashing 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.
