The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede, has vowed that notorious bandit leader Bello Turji will soon be eliminated as security forces intensify operations in Zamfara State.
Speaking on Thursday in Gusau at the Headquarters of Operation Hadarin Daji, Oluyede stated that Turji is on the run and will eventually be neutralized.
“Bello Turji is on the run as we speak, and wherever he goes, we follow him. Let him keep running — it is just a matter of time before he is removed from the space,” Oluyede said.
The army chief highlighted recent successes in the fight against banditry, noting that troops have eliminated several key bandit leaders, including Samaila, Boga, and Boderi, in recent months.
He reassured Nigerians that the military remains committed to restoring security in Zamfara and across the North-West.
“We will keep pursuing them to ensure the entire North-West is safe,” he added.
Oluyede acknowledged the challenges facing troops but expressed confidence that they would overcome them. He also urged Nigerians to support the military by providing timely intelligence to security agencies.
His visit to Zamfara, the first since his appointment on October 30, 2024, comes as the army intensifies efforts to combat banditry in the region.
