The Sokoto State Government has called on bandit kingpin Bello Turji to demonstrate sincere commitment to the ongoing peace process by releasing all kidnap victims in his custody and immediately halt attacks on rural communities

Retired Colonel Ahmed Usman, the special adviser to Governor Ahmed Aliyu, made the appeal in a statement issued to journalists in Sokoto.

Usman’s call followed the circulation of a viral audio message on social media in which Turji expressed willingness to embrace peace and urged fellow bandit leaders to open up to dialogue.

 

Describing Turji’s remarks as a potential step toward ending violence in the region, Colonel Usman stressed that such words must be backed by tangible actions.

“If Turji is genuinely committed to peace, he must prove it by ending all forms of violence and unconditionally releasing innocent civilians being held hostage,” he said.

 

The adviser reaffirmed that the safety and welfare of rural residents remained a top priority for the administration of Governor Aliyu.

 

“There can be no genuine dialogue while communities continue to live in fear and captivity. Peace begins with concrete steps that build trust,” Colonel Usman stated.

 

He reiterated the government’s readiness to support any credible peace initiative that ensures lasting security in the state but emphasised that criminality will not be tolerated under any guise.

 

Colonel Usman also called on stakeholders, including community leaders, civil society organisations, and religious institutions to rally behind efforts aimed at restoring peace and stability.
