The parley was conveyed by Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, at Makkai forest.<\/p>\n

In attendance were other Islamic clerics, another bandit leader, Kachalla Muhammadu Bello, and several foot soldiers.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, Turji, who controls Shinkafi\/Sokoto Road in Zamfara State, said Nigerian and Zamfara authorities failed to fulfil their promises.<\/p>\n

Declaring that the fighters were not afraid of death, he expressed anger that Fulani were usually attacked by indigenes of Zamfara and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Turji hinted that the problem may linger except dialogue. He boasted about the volume of weapons they had and suggested gangs could bring the state to its knees.<\/p>\n

The bandit head, trained by late Buharin Daji, added that if he is killed, there would be hundreds of other fighters capable of replacing him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
