The Governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal, has expressed strong optimism that the days of notorious terrorist and bandit leader Bello Turji are numbered.
During a recent interview on Channels TV, Lawal firmly stated that it is only a matter of time before Turji’s criminal reign ends.
The governor’s confidence is rooted in the ongoing military efforts to target and eliminate the terrorist, who has been linked to numerous violent attacks in Zamfara and neighboring states.
Lawal emphasized that the Nigerian Armed Forces have shown a clear commitment to taking down Turji, and the governor is hopeful that this will be achieved soon.
According to Diaspora Digital Media (DDM), which has been tracking developments in the region, Bello Turji is responsible for a series of deadly assaults that have left many communities in terror.
Despite several attempts by the military and other security forces to capture or neutralize Turji, he continues to evade capture.
However, Governor Lawal expressed confidence that the sustained operations against criminal elements in the region will eventually lead to Turji’s downfall.
He believes the effectiveness of the military’s offensive, which has already led to the deaths of several other bandit leaders, will soon bring Turji to justice.
“I believe that Bello Turji’s capture or demise is just a matter of time,” Lawal said during the interview, emphasizing the resolute action being taken by the Nigerian Armed Forces to rid the country of such criminals.
The governor highlighted the growing collaboration among security agencies in the fight against banditry, which is becoming increasingly effective in disrupting Turji’s operations.
Lawal also pointed out that the military’s ongoing success in eliminating other criminal groups indicates that Turji’s time is running out.
Bello Turji’s notoriety has made him a prime target for the Nigerian military, which has intensified its efforts to dismantle his network of terror.
Over the years, Turji has led a group of heavily armed bandits responsible for kidnappings, killings, and widespread destruction.
His group has wreaked havoc across large swaths of the northwestern region, with Turji often escaping the military’s attempts to capture him.
Nonetheless, Governor Lawal remains optimistic that the pressure being applied on Turji and his followers will eventually bring him to justice.
As the military continues to focus on dismantling the infrastructure that supports Turji’s operations, Governor Lawal believes that the end of Turji’s reign of terror is inevitable.
With the increasing momentum of military efforts and the growing commitment of the Armed Forces, Lawal is confident that Bello Turji’s time as a criminal leader will soon come to an end.
The residents of Zamfara and surrounding states are hopeful that this campaign will restore peace to the region, putting an end to Turji’s violent legacy.
