Northern Elders Urge Tinubu to Reject Bandit Leader’s Reconciliation Bid
In light of a recent video reportedly showing bandit leader Bello Turji seeking reconciliation with the Federal Government, northern elders have urged President Bola Tinubu to disregard these overtures.
Alhaji Mustafa Dutsinma, the Northwest chairman of the Arewa Elders Progressive Group, issued a stern warning against entertaining any form of reconciliation with individuals linked to banditry.
In a statement released from Kaduna on Thursday, Dutsinma expressed concerns that such a move would undermine the ongoing efforts to combat banditry.
He highlighted the current positive sentiment among the public, who are increasingly supportive of the military’s efforts in the region.
Dutsinma criticized Turji’s purported attempt at reconciliation as a mere facade, given the extensive history of violence and loss attributed to him and his group over recent years.
“Recent reports suggest that President Tinubu is contemplating a reconciliation with notorious bandit Turji and his allies,” Dutsinma said.
“We strongly advise against this approach as it risks setting a dangerous precedent and compromising the government’s battle against banditry.”
He emphasized that any attempt to reconcile with those responsible for heinous crimes would be a betrayal of public trust and justice.
Dutsinma praised the military’s ongoing operations, particularly in Shinkafi and Jibia, and called for the continuation of these efforts to ensure effective results.
Furthermore, he condemned the idea of negotiating with bandits as a disrespect to the victims and their families who have endured significant suffering.
Dutsinma also acknowledged the Federal Government’s commitment to addressing banditry, noting the recent deployment of key military and defence officials to the affected areas.
The elders’ stance underscores the critical need to maintain a firm approach against banditry and uphold justice for those who have been affected by the violence.
Damilola Mike-Bamiloye, the son of the renowned Christian filmmaker and evangelist Mike Bamiloye, recently took to Instagram to pay tribute to his late mentor and father figure, Korede Are, whom he affectionately referred to as “Daddy Korede.”
In an emotional post, Damilola remembered him as a dedicated servant of God who sacrificed comfort, recognition, and even his own needs to further the gospel.
He expressed deep admiration, saying Daddy Korede tirelessly ensured that the word of God reached the most remote corners of the world.
Damilola, himself a notable figure in Christian entertainment, known for his work with Mount Zion Faith Ministries, mentioned how Daddy Korede embodied selflessness.
He described him as someone with a “heart of pure gold,” a man who lived with unwavering faith and integrity until his very last moments.
According to him, Daddy Korede didn’t seek fame or praise; instead, he remained committed to his calling, consistently honoring God with his gifts, passion, and humility.
As Damilola mourns, he also rejoices in Daddy Korede’s “glorious finish”—a life he says was celebrated by God Himself. Daddy Korede may have departed, but his legacy lives on, continuing to influence countless lives within the Christian community.
