Military Offensive Intensifies as Theatre Commander Soyele Leads Operation in Zamfara

Major General Oluyinka Soyele, the Theatre Commander of the Joint Task Force Northwest, Operation Hadarin Daji, has taken direct command of military operations against bandit-terrorists entrenched in Zamfara State.

Local sources informed PRNigeria that Major General Soyele was sighted in the Shinkafi axis, where military forces have intensified their offensive against criminal elements terrorizing communities in the region.

As ground troops engaged in fierce combat, military aircraft were observed conducting sustained aerial operations across multiple locations, providing crucial air support to the advancing forces.

The military’s coordinated assaults have specifically targeted the strongholds of notorious bandit kingpin Bello Turji, resulting in significant casualties among his fighters. However, Turji’s current whereabouts remain unknown.

A senior defense intelligence source disclosed to PRNigeria that these offensives are part of a deliberate and sustained military strategy aimed at dismantling bandit networks and eliminating their leadership.

The ongoing military campaign has inflicted substantial losses on criminal elements, forcing many—including Turji—to abandon their hideouts as security forces press forward with their mission.

Major General Soyele’s decision to personally lead troops in the field underscores the military’s unwavering commitment to restoring peace, security, and stability in the affected communities.
