A Lake Chad Basin counterterrorism and insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, has disclosed that dreaded terrorist and bandit kingpin, Bello Turji, has been spotted in with his militant gangs.
Makama, who made this known in a post on his X handle on Friday, 10 January, 2025, disclosed that Turji was spotted in the North Western part of the country.
“Bello Turji have been spotted with his militant gangs in the rocks of Fakai and Manawa in the North West, ” he wrote:
Recall that the notorious bandit leader had issued fresh threats over his uncles arrested by Nigerian troops, just as he also warned he would unleash deadly attacks if his uncles were not released.
However, the Nigerian Defence Headquarters, DHQ, described Turji as “a dead man walking.”
DHQ issued the warning after Bello threatened to attack communities in Zamfara State unless his detained brother and associates were released.
