Defence Headquarters Vows to Eliminate Notorious Bandit Kingpin Bello Turji in 2025.
The military high command has labeled notorious terrorist leader Turji, who has wreaked havoc in the Northwest region, as a ‘dead man walking’.
According to the military, Turji’s demise is imminent, following in the footsteps of many other terrorist leaders before him.
While fielding questions from journalists about an unverified viral video of Turji, the Director of Defence Media Operations (DMO), Major General Edward Buba, said the military will deal with Turji and other wanted terrorist leaders and commanders decisively.
DHQ urged Nigerians not to give in to terrorists’ propaganda, assuring that he and others will be wiped out soon as the military moves to intensify its operations in the new year.
The DDMO noted this at press briefing for the year, he siad.“You think that the terrorists will be happy that we are hitting them hard? Of course not. All the terrorist leaders that we saw before him that were championing themselves as leaders, where are they today?
I assure you that those of them that are leaders today, commanders, or whatever they call themselves, just watch out, we will wipe them all.”
Buba noted that in the last 12 months, troops were confronted by several threats across the country, ranging from armed banditry, kidnapping for ransom, crude oil theft, violent extremism, insurgency, as well as terrorism, among others.
His word: “Several of these threats adversely affected innocent citizens and disrupted peace and security in the country. Troops’ war effort was therefore designed and crafted to defeat and destroy the terrorists as well as dismantle their terror infrastructure across the country. Accordingly, troops continued relentless and painful pressure on the terrorist enclaves, hideouts, and strongholds as an incentive to defeating the terrorists.
“Troops are focused on increasingly delivering tangible benefits of their operations for the benefit of citizens. Additionally, troops seek to continue to heighten collaboration with neighboring countries and regional bodies in order to tackle the menace of terrorism.
“Meanwhile, the armed forces assure that many of what was witnessed in the outgoing year are indicative of a major defeat of the terrorists in 2025. Importantly, troops in the battlefield are in high spirits, fully committed, devoted, and believe in the justness of the cause. Troops will be going the extra mile in the new year to get the job done.”
