A suspected terrorist, identified as Naziru Sani, working under the camp of notorious terrorist, Bello Turji, has confessed to killing over 20 people in attacks across Northwestern Nigeria.
Nazir was arrested along Jabiri Quarters in Funtua, Katsina, after the state police command received a credible intelligence report.
He was paraded before newsmen at the police command in Katsina on Tuesday, February 1, and he gave details of his operations with the terrorist group.
Speaking in an interview with Vanguard News, the 21-year-old suspect said,
“I am Bello Turji’s boy. I work under his command. I have been involved in communities’ attacks under the command of my boss, Turji and I have killed over 20 persons in the past but I have repented now.
I ran away from Jangebe forest in Zamfara where Turji is currently hibernating for dear life. The Police arrested me at Funtua, while I was trying to find my way to Suleja, Niger State where my parents live. I left my wife and children there in Makera Village in Zamfara.
We are very many. I don’t know the exact number but we are in hundred’s and I get between N20,000 to N30,000 after every operation.”
