Turji is an infamous bandits’ warlord that controls a large gang. He has been leading attacks in Zamfara and some other parts of the northwestern part of the country.
Zamfara is one of the epicentres of the insurgence of banditry and kidnapping. The development has thrown many of the residents into hardship and affected businesses and many other activities in the state.

The Governor was also reported to have raised community protection guards, which he empowered with over 7000 guns. However, the attacks continue.
