Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Christopher Musa addressed reporters following the Security Chiefs' meeting at the Defence Headquarters in Abuja. He stated that the days of the infamous bandit Bello Turji are numbered. He assured the nation that the military would apprehend him shortly. The meeting was attended by National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar, along with the leaders of various paramilitary organizations. “On the issue of Turji, like I said, it is just a deranged individual that feels power. Bt I can bet you, that it is just a matter of time. “We are going to get him and I can assure you within the shortest possible time, we are going to address that issue. That is why we all must come together to work with members of the Armed Forces and security agencies to deny them the ability to move freely within our communities.” “Please, do not give them any support. Do not give them information on the movement of troops because this is what is really happening. Most of the area where this thing is continuing is because we have informants within the communities. “I have always reminded Nigerians that asymmetric warfare is something that should not be allowed to commence because once it is done, it is a very difficult operation. You are dealing with non-state actors that are not wearing uniform. You don’t know them, but they know you. “Within the communities, if you don’t have the support of the community, it makes it extremely very difficult,”

The Chief of Defence Staff and other military heads have been directed to relocate to Sokoto by Minister of State Defense, the headquarters for the General Officer Commanding that oversees Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, and Kebbi states. In the relocation is part of the Federal Government's focused initiative to eliminate the threats of banditry, kidnapping, and terrorism in the North West region, According to statement Matawalle, the Chief of Defence Staff, and other military leaders, there will be a significant operation launched in Sokoto aimed at eliminating bandits in the North West. The statement reads: “The Honourable Minister of State for Defence H.E Dr Bello Muhammed Matawalle MON has expressed his sadness over the activities of terrorists and Bandits terrorizing Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and kebbi States and its environs. “Consequent to this the Honourable Minister of State has directed the Chief of Defence Staff and other military chiefs to move to Sokoto which is the Headquarters of the GOC Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and kebbi states with him as part of an intensified effort by the Federal Government to rid the North West of the menace of banditry, kidnapping and terrorism. “This strategic move underscores the unwavering commitment of the government to restoring peace and security in the region. While in the North West, they will supervise operations and ensure that Bello Turji and his Bandits gang are flushed out. “These criminal Bandits have been circulating videos of a Nigerian military Armoured vehicle that was stuck in a water-logged area and late in the night the officers were asked to withdraw to avoid being ambushed by bandits, later in the night the bandits went to the water-logged area, recording video of the Armoured vehicle that was stuck and celebrating it. This incident happened in Kwashabawa, Zurmi local government Area of Zamfara state. This is not acceptable as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR has been giving great support to the Armed Forces of Nigeria. “The Federal Government is deeply concerned about the persistent threat posed by banditry and terrorism in the North West particularly. We are ready to deploy all necessary assets to ensure that these criminal elements are flushed out and peace is restored to our communities, Dr Matawalle stated. We must move against these terrorists to enable our people to move freely. “The time is up for these bandits and terrorists as increased and consistent operations will weaken all their bases. Matawalle hereby calls on the Armed forces of Nigeria to flush out the bandits and terrorists as his presence in the North West will ginger our armed forces. “Matawalle further assured the people of Sokoto, Katsina, Zamfara, kebbi states and the entire North West region that the security forces will not leave any stone unturned until they flush out the bandits. I will be on the ground in the North West with the CDS and other military chiefs, leading our brave men and women in uniform. “In addition, the Honourable Minister of State for Defence also called on the people of Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and kebbi states to remain vigilant and cooperate with the Security forces and he reiterated the Federal Government's resolve to protect the lives and properties of all Nigerians, emphasizing that the security and well-being of the people remain the government's top priority.”
