A few hours after the notorious bandit, Bello Turji narrowly escaped aerial bombardment at his home, a fighter jet belonging to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has launched a fresh attack on his enclave.
Turji escaped being killed after an aerial bombardment on his home on Saturday afternoon. Sources confirmed that the fighter jet returned to the area around 9 am on Monday, September 19, dropping at least two bombs.
It was also gathered that many bandits suspected to be from Turji’s camp launched an assault on travelers along Sokoto-Gusau road in Shinkafi on Monday morning. A resident of Shinkafi, Murtala Wadatau, told the publication that armed men blocked the road at Kwanar Badarawa and Birnin Yero.
