Turji warns of severe consequences, including a farming ban, for Hausas if attacks on Fulanis persist, highlighting ongoing conflicts.
The Hausa people in Northwestern Nigeria have received a stern warning from Bello Turji, the infamous bandit leader in a newly surfaced video. He accuses them of betraying the Fulani community.
In the video that was made public on Wednesday night, Turji censured the Hausa community and ascribed accountability to them for the demise of innocent Fulani people and their animals. He made a pledge to intensify his group’s assaults unless these violent acts come to an end.
Turji declared that the Hausa community is responsible for the loss of our brethren, and no one has condemned their actions. In response, he vowed to persist in waging a war against them.
He underscored that his group’s complaints go beyond security personnel, singling out the Hausa community as their primary focus due to purportedly being involved in Fulani fatalities.

Turji boasted of his gang’s possession of a range of weapons as he accused the Hausa people for causing harm and fatalities among many Fulani.
Turji compared the ongoing insurgencies around the world to conflicts in places such as Afghanistan and Iraq. He suggested that even with high-profile figures like Osama Bin Laden no longer alive, these battles would persist and hinted at his intention to continue fighting.
Turji cautioned that Hausa farmers will face consequences if they attempt to cultivate what he deemed as “our land,” adding that the slaughter of Fulani and their cattle would no longer be tolerated.
With a menacing warning, he finished by stating that “Your agricultural land won’t yield crops. If you make an attempt to harvest them, your life will be at risk. This season there will not be any farming.”
