Bello Turji is a notorious terrorist and bandit leader operating in North-western Nigeria, particularly Zamfara and Sokoto states.
The Nigerian military has described the notorious bandit and terrorist leader, Bello Turji, as a “dead man walking.”
Mr Turji is a notorious terrorist and bandit leader operating in North-western Nigeria, particularly Zamfara, Sokoto and Niger states.
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Edward Buba, stated this while briefing journalists on the operations of the military in 2024, on Tuesday in Abuja.
Mr Buba said it was important to realise that terrorists exist for the sake of war and must be destroyed for the sake of peace.
He said the troops had sustained pressure on the terrorist enclaves, hideouts, and strongholds as an incentive to speedily defeat the terrorists and hastily end the war.
“During the course of the year, troops eliminated thousands of terrorists and also their commanders and combatants among others.
“We are also sure that similar fate awaits those parading themselves as terror leaders and commanders today.
