Outspoken Sokoto State-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Murtala Bello Asada, has again, accused Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, of sponsoring another notorious bandit leader identified as Haroo, whom he said is even deadlier than the likes of Bello Turji.
Sheikh Asada had in a video last week, accused Matawalle of buying Hilux vehicles for the bandit kingpins and also making huge funds available to them.
According to the video posted on X by security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Makama Zagazola, the cleric said Matawalle was not serious with the fight to dislodge the notorious bandit leaders and their gangs as he knows where the bandits are.
