According To Sahara Reporters, The infamous terrorist Mohammed Bello Turji Kachalla, also referred to as Turji, has continued to allege that Bello Matawalle, the current Minister of State for Defense, is complicit in terrorism in the Northwest region of Nigeria. The immediate past governor of Zamfara State, Matawalle, is accused by Turji of having connections to bandits in a recent video. The appointment of Matawalle, the former governor of Zamfara state, as the Minister of State for Defense was announced by President Bola Tinubu in August 2023. Due to the insecurity problems that afflicted Zamfara state under Matawalle leadership, his prior position as governor was criticized harshly.Following Matawalle’s camp’s earlier denial after Turji first connected him to terrorist activity in the area, there was a new claim. Turji has been active in the northern states of Nigeria, such as Sokoto, Niger and Zamfara.
However, Turji said Bashari was involved in armed banditry in the states of Zamfara and Sokoto, saying, “What I said in the video is that Dan Maigari and Baleri are siblings.” Rather of writing off Matawalle assertions as propaganda, Turji pushed his supporters to look into them. “If you don’t have knowledge about the situation, go and investigate and stop misleading the public,” he declared. He questioned the involvement of Matawalle and others in the abduction and subsequent liberation of Marado female students. Without presenting any proof that he had turned himself in to the authorities, Turji charged Bashari of conducting ongoing operations between the states of Zamfara and Sokoto.The minister’s camp denied Turji’s assertions, calling them unfounded, in reaction to earlier accusations.
He Said, “Since you said Bashari is not a bandit and said Matawalle has no hand in the banditry activities, I am asking you from whom did they rescue the girls?”….Seē _ Morē
