Notorious bandit, Bello Turji, has boasted that the Nigeria government can’t stop bandits from getting access to fire arms.
Turji boasted that since the government cannot stop the circulation of fire arms in the country, it can’t stop them from buying petrol either.
He made this known during an interview with Trust TV as part of a documentary, tagged ‘Nigeria’s Banditry: The Inside Story’, in reference to the restrictions placed in September last year in Zamfara to curb the menace of banditry in the state.
Turji said, “It is not right to deny Fulani entry into Shinkafi; it’s a local government for all citizens. If you deny Fulani entry, where are they supposed to go?
“If you buy just a measure of maize, they confiscate it; or if you buy a loaf of bread they will say you are buying it for Turji. Is it only Turji who eats out of all the people here?
“Let me ask you; isn’t this a gun? Is it those who failed to prevent the circulation of arms in Nigeria that will prevent us from buying petrol, which even a little kid knows where it can be obtained?”
