Troops Intercept Arms Cache In Zamfara, Search For Bello Turji

Troops from the Joint Task Force Operation Fansan Yamma, in collaboration with the Department of State Services, have made a significant discovery in Zamfara State, intercepting a cache of arms in the Kaura Namoda Local Government Area. The operation, which took place on January 27, 2025, was based on intelligence regarding suspected arms dealers operating from the Niger Republic. The troops launched a covert operation to track the suspects, resulting in a pursuit along the Kaura Namoda-Zurmi road, and eventually, the suspects were forced to abandon their vehicle after being engaged by the troops. A subsequent search of the vehicle led to the recovery of 2 PKT machine guns, 9 AK-47 rifles, 13 magazines, 171 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, and 9 rounds of PKT ammunitio

Meanwhile, the troops are actively pursuing the wanted terrorist Bello Turji, who remains at large, evading capture by moving from hideout to hideout. The military has assured the public that they are working tirelessly to apprehend him, and they appreciate the public's concern and cooperation in reporting any information that may assist in their efforts.
