The Nigerian military on Monday declared that notorious bandit leader, Bello Turji, will soon be eliminated from his hiding place.
Disclosing this, the Chief of Defence Operations, Major General Emeka Onumajuru, said the military is tracking Turji and that he would soon be eliminated.
Onumajuru made this known while speaking on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, The Morning Brief.
The Major General disclosed that the military is aware of Turji’s current location.
He said: “First, I need to let you know that there is absolutely no back and forth between Bello Turji and the armed forces.
“As I speak, Bello Turji is in hiding, completely in hiding, and the armed forces are tracking him. The armed forces continuously track him, and very soon, he will be eliminated.”
He noted that tracking bandit leaders can take time but assured that it won’t be long before Turji is eliminated.
This comes as a Sokoto State lawmaker, Honourable Aminu Almustapha Boza, affirmed Turji’s presence in the state.
Boza said the bandit leader was in one of the forests in Isa Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
The lawmaker, who represents Sabon Birni Local Government Area in the State House of Assembly, said the bandit leader has been collecting taxes from people in the area.
