THERE are indications that Nigerian soldiers are engaged in a serious gun duel with bandits led by the dreaded Bello Turji.
The ongoing clash between Nigerian troops and Turji’s men is reportedly taking place in the Sabon Birni area of Sokoto State, Daily Post has reported.
The medium said on Thursday, a senior consultant and public affairs analyst, Abdulsalam Suleiman Izuagbe, stated that commuters court no longer travel from Shinkafi to Sabon Birni.
According to Izuagbe: “There is a war going on in Sabon Birni; Bello Turji is facing the Nigerian Army as I talk to you.
“They are exchanging fire in the Sabon Birni area. From Shinkafi to Sabon Birni is no longer safe for anybody to travel, as I’m presently speaking. To think it’s a normal business as usual is missing the point.”
