Notorious bandit leader Bello Turji has reportedly issued a warning to residents of villages near Shinkafi, threatening to attack anyone heading to the Shinkafi market.
Local sources informed Zagazola Makama that Turji declared individuals caught disobeying his order would face severe repercussions.
This threat is viewed as an attempt by the fugitive bandit leader to conceal his movements and avoid the intensified security operations targeting his criminal network.
According to Zagazola Makama, Turji appears to be trying to assert control over his territories and manipulate public perception in the region.
Contrary to circulating rumors, credible security sources and local residents have confirmed that Turji has not suffered any injuries.
Despite the speculation, the bandit leader remains elusive and continues to evade the security forces actively pursuing him.
Reports suggest that Turji was seen yesterday in nearby villages, appearing distressed.
His movements indicate increasing unease as authorities tighten their operations around his hideouts.
Efforts to capture Turji and dismantle his criminal network, which has caused significant insecurity in Zamfara State and surrounding areas, are ongoing.
Security forces have intensified their operations, and residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to authorities.
