Notorious Terrorist Insist Tinubu's Minister Behind Banditry As Islamic Cleric Calls For Matawalle's Investigation

Terrorist Leader Accuses Minister of Supporting Banditry, Islamic Scholar Calls for Investigation

A notorious terrorist leader, Mohammed Bello Turji Kachalla, has reiterated his claim that the current Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, supports terrorism in Nigeria's Northwest region. This accusation comes despite the minister's previous denial.

Turji, also known as Turji, alleged that Matawalle has ties to bandits and challenged his supporters to investigate his claims. He questioned the role of Matawalle and others in the kidnapping and subsequent release of female students in Marado.

In a recent video, Turji accused Bashari, an alleged bandit, of continuous operations between Zamfara and Sokoto states without surrendering to authorities. He insisted his allegations were accurate and based on truth.

Reacting to the allegations, the minister's camp denied the claims and described them as falsehoods. However, a popular Sokoto-based Islamic scholar, Sheikh Murtala Asada, has challenged President Bola Tinubu's government to investigate the Minister of State for Defence to prove its sincerity in the fight against insecurity.

Asada's challenge comes days after Turji released a video accusing the Defence Minister of fully backing terrorism plaguing the country's North West region. The cleric said nothing should stop the Federal Government from investigating the Minister and others accused of complicity in backing terrorism if they are indeed serious about fighting banditry.
