Tambuwal reacts to Hausa musician singing bandit kingpin Turji’s praises
Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has ordered the immediate arrest of Mohammed Danshawa, the musician who praised bandit leader Bello Turji in a song.
Danshawa hailed the bandit leader, describing him as “a lion, untouchable and a great leader” in the 14-minute audio.
Governor Tambuwal’s order came three days after the Haus musician released the song.
“We ordered for his arrest to serve as a deterrent to others,” the governor said.
“This further informs why I advised that the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria to consider the best strategy to handle the insecurity situation because in those places where there are security challenges, the inhabitants are willing to be trained on weapons handling.”
Turji and his gang have been terrorizing Sokoto, Zamfara and some part of Niger Republic lately.
