Three Likely Reasons Behind Turji Kachalla’s Sudden Call For Peace

About a day ago, one of the latest developments about the bandits who have continuously destroyed both lives and property in North-Western Nigeria is a report by Daily News that the dreaded Turji Kachalla has called for a peace meeting with the government. According to the news, the bandit leader who was recently declared wanted either dead or alive by the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) said in the letter that if an agreement should be reached in the meeting for the maltreatment and marginalisation of the Fulanis to be stopped, he was ready to persuade his men to lay down their weapons for peace to reign.

In the wake of the feared front man of banditry’s sudden call for a truce, three points have been noted as the possible reasons for such an unexpected decision by a hardened man who had allegedly recently turned down the same call on him. They are as stated below:

1.) According to various reports that had made news headlines, many other bandits, including their leaders, had earlier called for peace in the villages that they have been holding to ransom. Based on the reports, the marauding criminals allegedly appealed to the heads of the communities that they were ready to lay down their weapons for peace to reign. And as a proof of this, they went on to recall the farmers whom they earlier sacked from their farms to return there, and harvest their produces. An example of such bandit leader is a certain Ali Kachalla. Perhaps, Turji Kachalla may also have decided to toll the same path.

2.) Less than a day ago, the Sun news platform made a publication that the peace-calling notorious bandit kingpin sustained a severe injury, with many of his men neutralised, in a military airstrike on their hideout in Shinkarfi local government area (LGA) of Zamfara State. This may also have compelled him to scamper for a peace talk before it becomes too late for him.

3.) Another likely reason for his readiness to turn a new leaf is his being declared wanted either dead or alive by the MURIC as an aftermath of his being fingered as the mastermind of the recent Sokoto massacre in which tens of travellers were burnt alive.
