Still on the Hunt for Bello Turji’ – DHQ Confirms

Bello Turji, the terrorist leader, has reportedly turned himself in to the military, although the Defense Headquarters has denied this.
According to reports, Turji, a wanted bandit commander who primarily operates in the states of Zamfara and Sokoto, has been charged with planning many attacks on NW villages.
According to recent reports, Turji released 32 kidnapped people and turned over his weapons as part of a peace attempt mediated by Islamic clerics in Zamfara State.
Nonetheless, Maj. Gen. Markus Kangye, Director of Defense Media Operations, said that Turji is still being sought during a press conference on Armed Forces operations on Thursday in Abuja.

“Simple response to the question regarding terrorist leader Bello Turji: we are still searching for him and Turji has not turned himself in,” he stated.

Dauda Lawal, the governor of Zamfara State, has promised that individuals responsible for the state’s violence will face consequences.

In response to recent killings in the Kauran Namoda Local Government Area—which was recently struck by a wave of bandit attacks—he made this statement.

The governor swore that divine intervention will uncover and shame those responsible for the terrible killings.

Five communities that were severely impacted were visited on Wednesday: Banga, Sakajiki, Kuryar Madaro, Maguru, and Tambarawa.

Bandit attacks have become more frequent in these locations, which has left many locals distraught and grieving the loss of loved ones.

Having been out of the state when the latest attack happened, Governor Lawal claimed that he gave the Deputy Governor the order to send a high-ranking delegation to show sympathy for the victims right away.

He returned to Gusau, the state capital, and went to the impacted towns to inspect the devastation and offer consolation to the bereaved relatives.
