Banditry: We Are Not Afraid To Die – Bello Turji Dares Nigerian Govt In New Video [WATCH]

Notorious bandit leader, Bello Turji has claimed he and his associates are not afraid of death.

Turji said he and his foot soldiers wouldn’t take up arms if they were afraid of death.

The bandit leader disclosed this in his latest video where he threatened the government for sending Service Chiefs to Sokoto State to fight his group.

In the video circulating online, Turji said: “If they were afraid of dying, we wouldn’t have taken up arms in the first place, stop sending Service Chiefs after us.”

A few days ago, videos had surfaced online of Turji and his boys celebrating after seizing two Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles, MRAPs, belonging to the Nigerian Army.

But the Nigerian Defence Headquarters, DHQ, dismissed Turji’s claim of seizing the two MRAPs.

DHQ had said the two MRAPs were demobilized due to the inability of troops to extricate them after they got stuck in swampy terrain during operations against bandits in Zamfara State.

On Tuesday, the Minister of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, General Christopher Musa and other top military officials stormed Sokoto State while declaring their readiness to lead a military onslaught against Turji and other bandits, criminals bedeviling the North West region.
