The Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, on Monday, noted that the consistent attacks in the state by notorious and wanted bandit leader, Bello Turji, will soon end.​


Lawal also expressed belief that the bandit leader will soon be apprehended or eliminated.

While speaking on Channels Television, he said, “It’s only a matter of time.

“With what we have in place, with the collaboration between us (the state government) and the Federal Government, security agencies, believe me, it is only a matter of time; Turji would be killed very, very soon.”


The governor’s comments come just days after the military made significant gains against bandits, killing wanted bandit leader, Halilu Sububu, who had been terrorising citizens in Zamfara, Sokoto and other parts of the North-West.

Sububu and more than 30 other bandits were killed last week.

The governor does not expect the elimination of the Turji to end to banditry in the state but he is confident “it will bring it down significantly.”

Governor Lawal believes the military is on the right trajectory and must not let up.

He added, “What we need to do is to sustain this military pressure.

“If we are able to sustain this pressure within the next two weeks to one month, believe me, it will be a different story as far as banditry is concerned.”
