Videos have surfaced online of bandit kingpin, Bello Turji
and his gang celebrating taking over the Nigerian Army Armoured Personnel
Carrier.
Turji and his gang also took over lots of ammunition from
the Nigerian Army during the seizure of the carrier.
This was confirmed by a counterinsurgency and security
expert in the Lake Chad region, ZagaZola Makama.
Makama said a distress report was received by the troops
indicating a high-level meeting of bandits at a specified location within the
Bello Turji camp.
Responding, a team of troops was swiftly deployed to the
area, led by a young officer but the team’s vehicle became stuck in the marshy
terrain, hindering their advance.
Makama disclosed that the troops came under intense fire
from the bandits, which triggered a heavy gunfire that lasted for some hours.
“Due to the weather conditions (heavy rain), throughout the
day, air support was unable to arrive promptly, allowing the bandits to
reinforce their position.
“The troops attempted to use the other MRAP to pull out the
other one but it got stuck in the mud too.
“Another team of troops were reinforced to the scene but
before their arrival, the situation became overwhelming for those holding the
ground as they could not pull out their two MRAPS.
“The troops withdrew, leaving behind the vehicles. No
fatality was recorded in the encounter.
“Hours later, Turji and his boys appeared in the scene
shooting in the sky and screaming that they dislodged the troops and took their
vehicles.”
The Nigerian Army is yet to confirm the development.
