The Military High Command has described the notorious bandit and terrorist leader, Bello Turji, as a “dead man walking”.
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, said while briefing newsmen on the operations of the military in the year 2024 in Abuja on Tuesday, December 31, 2024.
Turji is a notorious terrorist operating in the North West region of Nigeria, particularly Zamfara, Sokoto, and Niger States.
Buba said it was important to realise that terrorists exist for the sake of war and must be destroyed for the sake of peace.
He said the troops had sustained pressure on the terrorist enclaves, hideouts, and strongholds as an incentive to speedily defeat the terrorists and hastily end the war.
The defence spokesman stated: “During the course of the year, troops eliminated thousands of terrorists and also their commanders and combatants among others.
“We are also sure that a similar fate awaits those parading themselves as terror leaders and commanders today.

“These include: Halilu Sububu, Dutse Mainasara Idda, Mallam Saleh Umaru, Mohammed Amadu, Abubakar Musa, Adamu Tanko Ibrahim, Yellow Dogon Rakumi, Isiya Boderi and Alhaji Baldu.
