BREAKING: NOTORIOUS BANDIT BELLO TURJI CAPTURED, UNDERGOING INTERROGATION IN ABUJA

In a major breakthrough, Capital Times News (CTN) can report with exclusive authority that notorious bandit, Bello Turji, has been arrested following intense pressure from the military. Turji has been running around the forest of Zamfara for a hiding place, just as his commanders and some of his relations have been killed. We have it on good authority that Turji is in military custody in Abuja. He made last-minute efforts to rally support from fellow bandits commanders, but each of them turned his entreaties down. We can also confirm that he made his arrest easy as he gave voluntary indication that he was ready to surrender. However, details about his arrest are still sketchy as the military is yet to make an official statement. Capital Times News can authoritatively confirm that Turji is in military custody in Nigeria’s Capital City, Abuja, where he is undergoing interrogation. In an inquiry by CTN to the top brass of the Military, he replied with a terse “Not yet Confirmed”. This development is seen as a significant victory in the fight against banditry and terrorism in Nigeria. It’s worth noting that security forces have been closing in on Turji’s gang, with recent arrests of 18 gunmen linked to the notorious bandit near the Nigeria-Niger border in Sokoto State. The arrest of Turji is expected to deal a major blow to banditry in the region. CTN will continue to provide updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

MILITARY OFFENSIVE AGAINST NOTORIOUS BANDIT LEADER BELLO TURJI INTENSIFIES IN ZAMFARA STATE

The Nigerian military has escalated its offensive against notorious bandit leader Bello Turji in Zamfara State, dismantling his key hideouts in Fakai, a stronghold in Shinkafi Local Government Area. According to security expert Zagazola Makama, recent coordinated military strikes have resulted in the destruction of multiple bandit camps in the Sabon Birni Local Government Area. “The military burned a school reportedly used by Turji to store foodstuffs and weapons to prevent it from serving as a supply base for Turji’s network,” Makama said. Intelligence sources confirmed that Turji’s group has suffered significant losses, including the killing of his son and many of his fighters. “We killed his son and many of his fighters during the operation. I also listened to Turji’s panicked voice calling for reinforcements from seven other bandit leaders. None of them showed up, and one of his spies narrowly escaped from us today,” the sources said. A considerable number of Turji’s associates, including high-profile lieutenants and possibly family members, were neutralized during the targeted strikes. The operation, described as strategic and carefully planned, is primarily led by special forces with support from the General Officer Commanding (GOC). The special forces are supplemented by personnel from the Navy’s Special Boat Service (SBS) provided by the Theatre Command. “This operation is one of the most decisive efforts in recent times. Our forces are committed to ending the impunity of notorious bandits. This is a sustained campaign to dismantle these networks completely,” Makama said. Recent military successes have been attributed to proactive intelligence sharing and early warning systems, which facilitated the evacuation of civilians from high-risk areas, thereby reducing collateral damage. The Nigerian Air Force executed a series of precise airstrikes, dismantling crucial hideouts and significantly undermining Turji’s operational capabilities. Elite troops from Operation Hadarin Daji and the special forces unit of Operation Fansan Yamma have strategically positioned themselves along key escape routes. Credible intelligence indicates that Turji was last sighted at Zangon Gebe, where he remains surrounded by his heavily armed fighters.
