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.”

Nigeria should continue their intensive military operations especially air bombardments of all terrorist hideout in the Lake Chad Region. This region is strategically important for the U.S. and France, and this was why the Chadian government led by Idris Deby KAKA directed their forces to quit Chad. This onslaught should continues if Nigeria army wants peace in Nigeria. And this is the only peace and tranquility could come back to the region. . However, Chadian troops should join Nigeria troops to destroy these terrorists and their network to Zamfara State. Though Chadian forces are currently waiting for adaptable weapons from Russia , they can still be deployed alongside with their Nigerian counterparts men of high professionalism and weapons in dismantling terrorist cellular. . Airs trikes are mainly needed to do this in order to eradicate them because they are dreadful terrorists operating in the region for so long. They are stronger on ground because the west supply them with sophisticated weapons, artillery and they get daily intelligence reports from western Army Commanders of operations in the region. Mali is the only country in the Sahel Region that is a bit more quiet after he has dealt with them seriously. All remaining terrorists have fled to Algeria due to heavy fire power from the Malian Military Forces, and today, the border between Mali and Algeria is relatively calm and AZALWALD separatist fighters have deposited their weapons ready to incorporate Mali National Liberation Army. This’s the only way to eliminate terrorists circle and our Nigeria army is capable to defend the integrity of the country.
