Inside Bello Turji’s Latest ‘Peace’ Deal With Zamfara
Notorious bandit leader Bello Turji has struck another truce with Nigerian authorities after weeks of deadly clashes in Zamfara State. The deal, brokered by Muslim clerics, saw Turji agree to halt raids, kidnappings, and cattle theft in exchange for an end to vigilante attacks on his Fulani kinsmen. He also released 32 captives and surrendered some weapons.
While farming has resumed near his stronghold, security experts warn the accord may be a temporary “survival strategy,” as past deals with Turji and other bandits have collapsed. Underlying issues — poverty, herder-farmer tensions, and the profitability of banditry — remain unresolved.
