Bello Turji Frees Captives Amid Intense Military Offensive in Northwest Nigeria
Notorious terrorist leader Bello Turji has reportedly released all captives under his control as the Nigerian military ramps up its offensive against his fighters and strongholds in the northwest region.
The development comes amid intensified ground and air bombardments targeting Turji’s enclaves, which have inflicted heavy losses on his network.
Turji, a wanted figure known for orchestrating kidnappings, killings, and attacks across Zamfara, Sokoto, and Niger states, has been a central target of Nigerian security operations.
In recent weeks, the military has escalated its campaign against him, employing joint air and ground assaults to dismantle his operations.
Sources suggest that the release of captives may be a strategic move by Turji as he faces mounting pressure from the military’s onslaught. The ongoing bombardments have reportedly decimated several of his camps and inflicted significant casualties on his fighters.
This development marks a critical phase in the fight against banditry and terrorism in northwest Nigeria, where criminal networks like Turji’s have wreaked havoc on communities for years. Security forces remain committed to neutralizing his operations and restoring peace to the region.
Further details about the released captives and their condition are yet to emerge as military efforts continue to intensify in the area.
