Bello Turji Has Gone Underground, He Knows We Are After Him – CDS Musa

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, says the military is closing in on arresting notorious bandit leader, Bello Turji.

CDS Musa disclosed that Turji is aware the military is after him and has, therefore, been operating underground.

The military chief, however, said this won’t stop his arrest as the military is continuing its operations.

According to Musa, the military has already killed the commanders of Turji, and it’s just a matter of time before the notorious bandit kingpin himself is arrested.

Naija News reports the CDS stated these while speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s 2024 Year-In-Review programme on December 31, 2024.

“The update is that since he knows we’ve been after him, he has been operating underground, and we are conducting operations,” the CDS said when asked for an update on Turji who has been on the run for a while after causing havoc in the Northeast.

“What we have been doing, of recent, is that we are picking everybody close to him; all those giving him support in one way or the other, we have picked them, we have killed his commanders. It’s just a matter of time,” he added.

Gen Musa also disclosed that over 120,000 terrorists have surrendered in the North-East, and in the course of interrogation, it was discovered that some of them were forced into insurgency.

He vowed that the real masterminds of terrorist activities in the country would face the law.
