A Sokoto State lawmaker, Aminu Boza, have cried out over the activities of notorious bandit leader Bello Turji, alleging that he has imposed a ₦25 million levy on villages in the Isa and Sabon Birni areas.
Boza, who represents Sabon Birni Local Government in the state House of Assembly, disclosed this in a phone conversation with The Punch on Friday, warning that Turji’s influence in the region continues to grow.
“Bello Turji is currently in the Isa and Sabon Birni axis of Sokoto. He has even imposed a ₦25 million levy per village in some communities,” Boza claimed.
He called on security agencies to take urgent action to curb the activities of the bandits and restore peace to the affected communities.
