Bello Turji has issued a fresh ultimatum in Isa Local Government Area, warning residents to vacate their villages or face “dire consequences.”
The threat, delivered after months of relative silence, has sparked panic and a mass exodus: families are fleeing Tidibale and surrounding settlements for safety in Isa town, Gidan Hamisu and even across the border to Shinkafi in Zamfara State.
