UNBELIEVABLE! SEE Shocking Amount Of Money Bandits Leader Collect As Ransom
Notorious bandit leader Jiya Turji has reportedly received a ransom of ₦6 million from residents of Sardauna village in the Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State. The payment was made to secure the release of five individuals abducted by Turji’ s gang during a previous attack.
The development was disclosed on Friday by counterterrorism and insurgency expert Zagazola Makama through a post on his X handle. According to Makama, who cited intelligence sources, the ransom negotiations were tense, with the bandits initially demanding a much larger sum before settling for ₦6 million.
” The ransom negotiations were intense, with the bandits initially demanding a much higher sum before agreeing to settle for ₦6 million, ” Makama wrote, quoting local sources.
Following the payment, the five abducted residents, who had been held captive for several weeks, were reportedly released. However, the incident has further intensified fears among the residents of Sabon Birni over recurring attacks by Turji’ s gang, which has been a major source of insecurity in the region.
” The victims, who have been in captivity for several weeks, were reportedly freed after the payment was made, ” Makama added.
The growing insecurity in Sabon Birni has prompted repeated calls from local leaders for increased security intervention. The region has been plagued by a surge in kidnappings, extortion, and violent attacks attributed to bandit groups. Local communities remain under constant threat, with many living in fear of future attacks.
The incident has reignited debates on the need for proactive measures to curb insecurity, including improved intelligence gathering, community engagement, and a robust response from law enforcement agencies. For now, however, residents of Sabon Birni continue to face the dual threats of violence and economic extortion at the hands of criminal elements.
