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.
