A Nigerien military officer, part of the Niger Republic's Operation Faraoutar Bushiya at Rouga Kowa Gwani in the Guidan-Roumdji department, has issued a stern warning to terrorist commander Bello Turji in a video that has gone viral online. The officer's response comes in the wake of a mocking video released by Turji.
Reacting to Turji's taunts, the officer stated, "Bello Turji, let me warn you. Niger is not like Nigeria. In Nigeria, you're enjoying protection from the authorities because there, unlike here in Niger, troops require express permission and/or orders to shoot. Make no mistake, I swear by God, it’s not really true that you’ve evaded arrest or killing, even in Nigeria. What’s happening there is a high-level conspiracy by the authorities to hurt the poor, especially those from the northern part."
The officer continued, emphasizing the differences between the two nations' military protocols. "Niger is not Nigeria! If only you were sensible, you would know that you cannot play this rubbish game with the Nigerien military. Let me repeat, I swear by the prophet Muhammad and swear by God, Bello Turji, you are doing this because your government, the Nigerian government, conspired against its citizens to allow your reign of terrorism. They protected you, but you're actually a nobody. Don't mistake Niger to be like your country."
He warned Turji against any confrontation with the armed forces of Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso. "In your own interest, avoid confrontation with the armed forces of Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso. I swear by the Quran, if you mistakenly incursion into the territory of any of these listed countries, you'll scamper to leave; that is if you're able to escape."
The officer advised Turji to restrict his activities to Nigeria, where he has been kidnapping and killing innocent people while enjoying protection from the country's military. "The Nigerien military, we are patriotic, we don't condone this type of treasonable felony against our country."
Regarding the arrest of Baleri, Turji's right-hand man, the officer noted, "The person we arrested actually confessed to being Baleri, your right-hand man; and I can bet you know that to be true."
The officer concluded with a strong message to Turji. "Now get this into your head, Bello Turji, your days are numbered and in no distant future you’ll be apprehended. By the power of God, the end for you guys has come. Your types have brought the terrorism stereotype against the Fulani race, and it's not fair. Because of you, the Fulani race, the world over seems to have been designated as a terrorist race. Why is it that only you guys from the Fulani extraction are into kidnapping and banditry, Bello Turji?"
"Now take my parting words: the same way you abduct innocent people and take them into the jungle, kill some, collect ransom on others, your cup is full, you'll soon be apprehended."
The video, in which the officer delivers this impassioned warning, has rapidly gained traction online, drawing widespread attention and commentary.
