Bello Turji Is Just A Deranged Individual That Feels Power, We Are Going To Arrest Him Very Soon – CDS Musa

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has given fresh assurance that security agencies would soon capture wanted bandit leader, Bello Turji.

According to Musa, Turji is a deranged individual who lusts after power, but it’s just a matter of time before he is arrested.

The CDS gave the assurance on Tuesday at a press briefing in Abuja, where he added that the military is collaborating with other security agencies and state governments to protect citizens over reports of Turji imposing levies on communities.

He appealed for community members to make information that can lead to the arrest of Turji and other criminals available to the military and other security agencies as they work to maintain normalcy and security in the country.

“On the issue of Turji, like I said, it is just a deranged individual that feels power, but I can bet you that it is just a matter of time.

“We are going to get him, and I can assure you that within the shortest possible time, we are going to address that issue.

“That is why we all must come together to work with members of the armed forces and security agencies to deny them the ability to move freely within our communities.

“Please do not give them any support. Do not give them information on the movement of troops because this is what is really happening.

“Most of the area where this thing is continuing is because we have informants within the communities.

“I have always reminded Nigerians that asymmetric warfare is something that should not be allowed to commence because once it is done, it is a very difficult operation.

“You are dealing with non-state actors that are not wearing uniform, you don’t know them, but they know you and are within the communities, if you don’t have the support of the community, it makes it extremely very difficult.

“Our intention is to make sure that life returns to normalcy in Nigeria. It is a work for all of us together, including members of the press,” he said.
