In the 1.29min video, Turji accuses the governments of Niger Republic and Nigeria of capturing and killing innocent citizens, labelling the claims as “shameful information.”
He demanded the release of “poor people” detained as bandits, stating they are merely herders and farmers.
It was gathered that the captured individual, Kachalla Baleri, was different from the notorious Baleri Fakai.
The Nigerien authorities claimed a significant breakthrough with the arrest, but the fact-check and new video raise questions about the accuracy of their claims.
