Dreaded Bandit, Bello Turji Frees All Captives Amid Intensified Military Assault by TimeManager(op): 4:33pm On Jan 21, 2025
In a surprising turn of events, notorious bandit leader, Bello Turji has reportedly released all individuals held captive by his group.

This was disclosed by Zagazola Makama, a Lake Chad Basin counter-terrorism and insurgency expert, on Tuesday.

The development comes amid heightened military operations aimed at capturing the fugitive and dismantling his network in Zamfara State and surrounding regions.

Makama said Turji’s decision to “free the captives is linked to the intense pressure mounted by the Nigerian Armed Forces under Operation Hadarin Daji and Operation Forest Sanity.”

Recent airstrikes and ground offensives targeting his hideouts in Fakai, Shinkafi, and surrounding areas have significantly weakened his group, forcing them into retreat.

Makama added: “The release of the captives is being seen as a strategic move by Turji to avoid further escalation or a direct confrontation with security forces who have been closing in on him.
“The troops have vowed to get him whether dead or Alive.”

Dead or alive, that's the mission. My belief is getting stronger in Nigeria and the leadership of President Ashiwaju Tinubu.

The attacker has suddenly found himself on the Blackfoot bro.
He is making his burden lighter so as to swiften his escape. He can't run properly with a back full of baggages.
He is now like Jonah's captain, trapped in troubled waters and frantically relieving the ship of the cargo he himself loaded-in in the first place.
But even if he threw Jonah into the sea bro, nemesis would still catch up with him.

No peace for the wicked..
Kudos to our gallant military officers, I always say this that if our leaders allow the Nigerian military personnel to perform at their peak all this banditry and terrorism will be things of the past in our country.

Bello Turji days are numbered.....

Wen the govt of the day, fully supports military with strong political will, it makes it easier for security forces to decimate criminals. Unlike bubu that wanted to eradicate terrorists in one hand and wanted them to be alive in second hand because they are his tribe.

I think they should penetrate south east as well.
