Bandit kingpin, Bello Turji, who was behind several killings and kidnappings in Shinkafi, Sabon Birnin and Isah in Zamfara and Sokoto states has embraced the peace initiative of the Zamfara State Government, as part of the efforts to end the insecurity challenges in the North-West region.
The Deputy Governor of Zamfara State, Senator Hassan Nasiha, said that the decision of Turji to shun banditry has brought about relative peace in the three local governments that were experiencing serious cases of bandit attacks in the state.
He said that for the past five weeks, no violent clashes between the Hausas and Fulanis have taken place in Shinkafi, Zurmi and Birnin Magaji Local Government Areas of the state because of the dialogue between the two warring parties.

Speaking further, he said that Turji is now working with the state government to make sure that banditry is brought to end in the state, and also ensure that peace and stability return to Zamfara.
The report that the bandit kingpin, Bello Turji, has now embraced peace has been attracting mixed reactions from members of the public.
