Renowned terrorist and bandit leader, Bello Turji, is reportedly in hiding, moving between concealed locations, after the Nigerian Army successfully neutralized many of his fighters in Zamfara State. This was disclosed by Lt. Col. Abubakar Abdullahi, spokesperson for Operation FansanYamma, a special military task force targeting terrorism in Northwest Nigeria.
In a recent interview, Abdullahi confirmed that Turji’s terror camps in the Shinkafi Local Government Area were decimated through coordinated airstrikes and ground assaults conducted by the military task force. He assured that the remaining bandits would soon be captured.
“Our airstrikes have severely damaged terrorist strongholds in Shinkafi. Several of Turji’s fighters have been neutralized, forcing him into hiding, living in holes like a rat,” Abdullahi stated.
The crackdown follows threats by Turji to attack residents of Shinkafi unless his relatives, previously arrested on terrorism charges, were released. In retaliation, Turji reportedly carried out attacks and abducted travelers in the area, prompting a swift military response. The operation led to the deaths of several terrorists, including another notorious bandit leader, Sani Rusu.
The Nigerian Army remains committed to restoring peace and security in Zamfara State through ongoing efforts to dismantle terrorist networks in the region.
