Thousands Flee Nigeria After Gang Leader Threatens Mass Killings

In Nigeria, a gang leader named Bello Turji told people in a town called Tidibale to leave their homes.

He threatened to kill anyone who stayed.

This happened because Turji thinks someone from the town told the police about his gang, leading to a fight where one of his men was killed.

Thousands of people have already left their homes and are staying in schools in a nearby town called Isa.

The government is being criticized for not doing enough to stop the violence.

Other groups, like ISWAP and Boko Haram, are also causing trouble in the area.

The U.S. even did a strike against some of these groups last month.
