A police officer in Kaduna State, Hadaina Hussaini Dan-Taki, has reacted to the recent lynching of 16 travellers of Northern extraction in Uromi, Edo State, threatening retaliatory attacks against Southerners living in northern Nigeria.
Dan-Taki’s comments came after the brutal killing of 16 northerners by an illegal vigilante group in Uromi, Esan North-East local government area of Edo State.
In a heated Facebook comment on Tuesday, Dan-Taki vowed by Almighty God that northerners would take decisive action against southerners in their domain.
Dan-Taki wrote, “I swear to Almighty God, we must do something for you guys, have you forgotten all your brothers that are leaving here in the North make my word, after one week you shall see the result.”
The notorious bandit leader, Bello Turji, hosted an elaborate Eid celebration in Magira, Isa Local Government Area (LGA) of Sokoto State, before moving to Fadamar Lugu in the same LGA, where he and his gang brutally killed 12 people and injured one person on Tuesday.
The development was revealed in a post on X by security analyst Bakatsine on Wednesday.
According to Bakatsine, Turji and his men had gathered in Magira for an Eid feast, attended by bandits from neighboring Zamfara State. After the celebration, they proceeded to Fadamar Lugu, where they unleashed terror on innocent residents.
“Bandit leader Bello Turji hosted an Eid celebration in Magira, Isa LGA, with bandits from Zamfara State. After the feast, he moved to Fadamar Lugu in Isa LGA, Sokoto State, killing 12 people & injuring one person just for fun,” Bakatsine wrote in his post.
Bello Turji, one of the most wanted bandits in Nigeria, has been linked to numerous killings, kidnappings, and attacks across Sokoto and Zamfara States.
