Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto State has directed the immediate arrest of a musician who praised a bandit leader, popularly known as Bello Turji, in a song.
In viral music audio, the musician, Mohammed Danshawa, hailed the bandit leader, describing him as “a lion, untouchable and a great leader”.
It was gathered that the governor gave the order to apprehend the singer three days after the song went viral on social media platforms.
Responding to the song, Governor Tambuwal said, “We ordered for his arrest to serve as a deterrent to others.
“This further informs why I advised that the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria to consider the best strategy to handle the insecurity situation because in those places where there are security challenges, the inhabitants are willing to be trained on weapons handling.”
The musician released the 14-minute song to celebrate the bandit kingpin, Bello Turji.
Most of the residents of Sokoto State, who were not comfortable with the song, described the action of the musician as unpatriotic and unacceptable.
According to Squadron leader, Aminu Bala, “The song is capable of misleading young people to begin to idolise or even pay allegiance to the bandits’ leader.”
Apart from the Squadron leader, many residents of the state said that the song, if allowed, would boost the morale of the bandits in the North West region of the country.
