Why Bello Turji is Willing to Surrender – CDS Musa

Notorious bandit kingpin, Bello Turji, has expressed his willingness to surrender,  the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa has said.

This development comes after the military neutralized Turji’s second-in-command and other top lieutenants, significantly weakening his network.

General Musa said on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, saying anyone who has engaged in killing innocent citizens must face justice.

Turji’s decision to surrender is seen as a strategic move, as he has been forced to release most of his followers.

The CDS noted that the terrorist kingpin is now signaling his willingness to lay down his arms.

His words: “They (terrorists) are within the communities; the people know them. So, sometimes when they see them, before you get the information, it’s like two hours – the man has moved. So, when the information gets to you before you move, he has left that area.

“But I can tell you, we have taken out his second in command, we have taken out most of his lieutenants, in fact, he is forced now to release most of the people under him. I am telling you that recently he is beginning to say that he doesn’t want anything, he is ready to surrender,” he noted.

Despite Turji’s reported willingness to surrender, the Defence Chief maintained that anybody who has engaged in killing innocent citizens must not be spared.

“We want to take everybody out. Anybody who has killed should go, people like him should not be allowed to stay,” General Musa said.

Following its continued onslaught on Turji, the military high command on Wednesday said troops of Operation Fansan Yamma neutralised his second in command of notorious Aminu Kanawa.

A statement by the Defence Director, Edward Buba, said the troops also inflicted terminal injuries on some of Turji’s close allies identified as Dosso (Bello Turji’s younger brother) and Danbokolo (one of Turji’s closest allies).

Buba also said the troops neutralised several of Bello Turji’s key commanders namely: Abu Dan Shehu, Jabbi Dogo, Dan Kane, Basiru Yellow, Kabiru Gebe, Bello Buba and Dan Inna Kahon-Saniya-Yafi-Bahaushe, among others.

He noted that over 24 fleeing terrorists from Bello Turji’s Camp around Gebe and Isa LGA of Sokoto State, as well as around Gidan Rijiya in Shinkafi LGA of Zamfara State were also neutralized.
