Turji said Bello Matawalle, the current minister of state for defence, who governed Zamfara for four years, and Governor Dauda Lawal, the incumbent, cannot stop them. Rather, only God — he said — can bring banditry to an end in the northwest geopolitical region.

Turji said:

“We are calling on all of you to come and collaborate with us for peace to reign and stop the bloodbath in Zamfara. Gun and airstrike will not stop us because we are not afraid of death.”

Furthermore, Turji accused some Nigerian leaders of trying to exterminate the Fulani race. He, however, expressed confidence that God will continue to protect them.

He said:

“Even if you kill us, it’s God who ordained that to happen, but it’s not by your power.”
