Three Nigerian soldiers have released a video message challenging Bello Turji Kachalla, a notorious bandit leader, to emerge from hiding and face them.
The soldiers expressed frustration over the lack of action from higher authorities to apprehend Turji Kachalla, who has been responsible for a string of devastating attacks across northern Nigeria.
The soldiers directly addressed Turji Kachalla, saying, “Since we have not received orders to come after you, we invite you to come out of hiding and face us. Let’s see what happens.”
They taunted Turji Kachalla, saying, “Prove your courage, Bello Turji. If you’re a real man, come out and face us.”
Condemning Turji’s actions, the soldiers said, “For the sake of Allah, stop kidnapping and killing innocent civilians. They are not your enemies.
“We eliminated Boko Haram in Maiduguri without even knowing what a soldier or a gun was. Now that we’re trained soldiers, you don’t stand a chance, Bello Turji. You’re just a madman.
“You have a gun, but so do we. Come out of hiding and face us. If you’re not man enough to face us, then leave innocent civilians alone.”
