Wanted bandit kingpin, Bello Turji, places N50m ‘farming tax’ on Zamfara communities
Wanted notorious bandit kingpin, Bello Turji



Wanted notorious bandit kingpin, Bello Turji, has reportedly placed a N50 million ‘farming tax’ on some communities in Zamfara State before allowing residents to cultivate their farmlands this rainy season.


According to security analyst Dan Bakatsine who shared the development on his X handle on Monday night, the affected communities span from Tsalaken Gulbi in Fakai village, under Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara, extending to Qaya, a village close to the Niger Republic border, with the bandit leader warning that any farmer who failed to pay the tax will be killed along with his family.

According to the security expert, Turji reportedly warned that failure to comply with his demand would result in violent attacks on any farmer found on their land.


“Bandit leader Bello Turji is reportedly demanding 50 million from residents of Tsalaken Gulbi from Fakai village, Shinkafi LGA, Zamfara State, up to Qaya near the Niger border, just to let them farm this season,” Dan Bakatsine wrote.


“The farmers can only go to their farms in peace after paying a total of N50 million,” Bakatsine said, quoting the bandit leader.

He added that it had become almost tradition for farmers around troubled areas in the North to pay safety taxes to bandits before farming and during harvest.

He kills himself has more money Balotelli on why he couldn t reach Ronaldo s level
Former Italy International, Mario Balotelli, has revealed why he did not reach the heights of Cristiano Ronaldo’s career.The Ghanaian born Italian footballer said he could not reach that level of football because he does not possess the Portuguese legend’s work ethic.Balotelli was one of the highly rated strikers as a young footballer, but he, as many football fans would believe, was unable to live up to the promise of his talent.Balotelli has played for Inter Milan, AC Milan, Manchester City, Liverpool, Marseille, OGC Nice, Monza, and Adana Demirspor in his storied career.The Italian forward, who is still in active football, told Rai2 why he never reached the level of the former Man United, Real Madrid and Juventus man.As quoted by Goal, the Italian said, “He [Ronaldo] kills himself with training, I don’t… He has more money! I could have done more, but I’m happy.“I thank the fans who love me, but I made the wrong choice for the type of club.“It’s unlikely that I will play again in Italy or Europe. I will play for two or three years before I stop.”Balotelli laces his boots for Italian Serie A side, Genoa and his deal expires this summer.The former Manchester City man further revealed that he would be moving to the Major League Soccer, MLS, when his deal expires.“Yes, America. I will play two or three years before I stop,” he said.Ronaldo was handed his second golden boot in his second season in the Saudi Pro League on Monday.The Portugal national team captain, however, announced that his chapter with Al-Nassr may have come to an end.Ronaldo is said to have concluded arrangements to join Al Nassr’s rivals, Al Hilal in order to participate in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.At 40, the former Real Madrid attacker is showing no sign of slowing down as he hopes to become the first footballer ever to score 1000 career goals.
