Matawalle's Name Cleared: Bandit Leader Turji Dismisses Sponsorship Allegations
In a surprising turn of events, notorious bandit leader Bello Turji has publicly denied allegations that Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, is backing his group's operations.
This declaration comes amidst a heated public dispute between Matawalle and his successor, Governor Dauda Lawal, over accusations of supporting terrorism in Zamfara State .
Turji's statement has effectively cleared Matawalle's name, according to observers.
The minister had previously dared Lawal to swear on the Quran that he was not connected to the state's banditry crisis. However, Turji's denial of Matawalle's involvement has put the issue to rest.
In a video message, Turji emphasized that his group's actions are divinely sanctioned, stating, "No one is supporting us except God.
" He criticized both Matawalle and Lawal for politicizing the insecurity in Zamfara State, saying their accusations against each other would not solve anything .
