Sources informed LEADERSHIP on Thursday that the attack took place when the notorious bandits were returning from a Sallah visit to one of the communities in Isa LGA when they gruesomely murdered the farmers.

The lawmaker representing Sabon Birni in the State House of Assembly, Hon. Aminu Boza, said some locals informed him about the attack, but there was no information that Turji visited any community in his constituency for Sallah celebration.

He said, “There was a report that Turji planned to visit the eastern part of Gatawa for the Sallah celebration, but the prompt action of community members by informing security personnel prevented that.

“This could be the reason Bello Turji vented his anger on innocent farmers.”

Police authorities in the State, however, refused to comment on the incident.

The police source claimed that, “since a military joint operation is ongoing in the area, the police have no right to speak on security development in the area.”

When contacted, 8 Division Nigerian Army referred our correspondent to the Theatre Command of the Operation FASAN YAMMA, who is yet to respond to our correspondent’s request on the unfortunate attack.
