Armed bandits led by notorious warlord Bello Turji have reportedly killed five people and abducted nine others during an attack on Bargaja village in Isa Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

The assailants, who invaded the community in the early hours of Saturday, also injured a member of the Community Guard Corps.


Local activist, Basharu Altine Guyawa had earlier raised alarm over the movement of Turji’s gang, warning that they were seen heading towards Isa LGA from the Shinkafi axis in neighbouring Zamfara State.

Guyawa alleged that despite his alert, security agencies and local authorities failed to take preventive action.

Confirming the incident, the Chairman of Isa Local Government Area, Sharehu Abubakar Kamarawa, denied claims of negligence, saying the council had mobilised security guards and alerted relevant agencies immediately after receiving the report.

He said security personnel were deployed to the area, but the bandits diverted through another route, leading to the attack.

Kamarawa disclosed that the security commander in charge of the area had been replaced following lapses in response and coordination.

The latest assault adds to a series of attacks by armed groups across parts of Sokoto State, particularly in the eastern axis, where rural communities remain under persistent threat despite ongoing security operations.

Gumi said they are doing this for revenge.
These five people must have done terrible things to him.
Unlike the real "terrorists" IPOB who wants to secede from Nigeria.

Stop the whataboutism gaslighting. Gumi is no doubt abominable and a backer of heinous terror. The disappointment of most sane Nigerians is that you Igbos have joined his thinking with how you ate the apple of terrorism Kanu offered you.

Rather than now apologize to your fellow Nigerians , denounce Kanu and retrace your steps, you continue pushing the discredited narrative IPOB are justified saints in comparison to bandits , Boko Haram, ISWAP etal.

Love at even your last sentence. Is secession from Nigeria allowed without constitutional amendment? You know it is not yet you keep backing IPOB's lawless pursuit of secession.

Yet you have nothing at all to say about your Igbo legislators who can move for the inclusion of a secession clause in our constitution yet fail to do so . Shame on you finger-pointing folks who don't realise the other fingers on your hand point back at you when you indict others with one finger.
