Bello Turji On The Run As Son, Others Killed During Fierce Battle In Zamfara

Bello Turji, the notorious bandit leader, is on the run after a fierce battle in Zamfara, where his son and several others were killed. The military launched a coordinated attack on Turji's strongholds, targeting areas like Fakai, Shinkafi, and Sabon Birni, and it seems they've dealt a significant blow to his operations. Turji's son was among those killed, and the bandit leader himself is said to have fled, abandoning his fighters and logistics hub.

The military's operation was a strategic and well-planned one, with ground troops and air support working together to dismantle Turji's network. They've also rescued several hostages and recovered stolen livestock and valuables. It's a big win for the military, and hopefully, it'll mark a turning point in the fight against banditry in the region.

Turji's been a thorn in the side of the authorities for a while now, responsible for numerous massacres and terrorist attacks in Zamfara, Sokoto, and Niger states. He's got a reputation for being ruthless and elusive, but it seems the military is finally closing in on him. The people of Zamfara and surrounding areas must be breathing a sigh of relief, knowing that the man responsible for so much violence and terror is on the run.
