Following the loss of his son and the killing of second-in-command and others by the military, notorious bandit leader Turji has expressed his willingness to surrender.
The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa revealed this during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday.
The military’s ongoing operations have significantly weakened the influence of Turji’s network, as reported by the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS).
He explained that the recent elimination of Turji’s second-in-command and several of his lieutenants has left the terrorist leader with fewer options, compelling him to reconsider his position.
“He is now forced to release most of the people under him,” General Musa said.
“Recently, he has begun to say he doesn’t want anything; he is ready to surrender.”
However, the Defence Chief noted that surrender does not absolve individuals like Turji of accountability for their crimes.
He maintained a firm stance that anyone involved in the killing of innocent citizens must face justice.
“We want to take everybody out. Anybody who has killed should go. People like him should not be allowed to stay,” Musa said,
Citing the military’s commitment to ensuring justice and restoring peace in affected regions.
Bello Turji is one of the most wanted terror leaders in Nigeria, infamous for orchestrating attacks, kidnappings, and killings across the northwest.
Following its continued onslaught on Turji, the military on Wednesday said troops of Operation Fansan Yamma neutralised his second in command of notorious Aminu Kanawa.
A statement by the Defence Director, Edward Buba, said the troops also inflicted terminal injuries on some of Turji’s close allies identified as Dosso (Bello Turji’s younger brother) and Danbokolo (one of Turji’s closest allies).
The military also said the troops neutralised several of Bello Turji’s key commanders namely: Abu Dan Shehu, Jabbi Dogo, Dan Kane, Basiru Yellow, Kabiru Gebe, Bello Buba and Dan Inna Kahon-Saniya-Yafi-Bahaushe, among others.
