Nigerian Army troops are currently engaged in a fierce gun battle with bandits led by notorious leader Bello Turji in the Sabon Birni area of Sokoto State.
The clash, which began early on Thursday morning, has made it unsafe for commuters to travel from Shinkafi to Sabon Birni.
According to a senior consultant and public affairs analyst, Abdulsalam Suleiman Izuagbe, the intense fighting has persisted throughout the day, with both sides exchanging heavy gunfire. The situation remains tense, and residents are hoping for a resolution that will bring an end to Turji’s reign of terror in the region.
According to Izuagbe: “There is a war going on in Sabon Birni; Bello Turji is facing the Nigerian Army as I talk to you.
“They are exchanging fire in the Sabon Birni area. From Shinkafi to Sabon Birni is no longer safe for anybody to travel, as I’m presently speaking. To think it’s a normal business as usual is missing the point.”
