Turji, a key determine in violent banditry, has terrorized communities, kidnapping civilians and imposing steep “taxes” on native farmers to allow them to reap their crops.
Counter-insurgency knowledgeable Zagazola Makama shared Tajje’s message on X (previously Twitter), stating that Tajje intends to ship a proper delegation to encourage Turji to resign his prison way of life utterly.
Lakurawa, first noticed earlier this 12 months, operates throughout communities, amassing taxes and espousing anti-Western and anti-democratic ideologies. Their mission mirrors Boko Haram’s, including one other layer of complexity to Nigeria’s safety challenges.
