- He stated that President Bola Tinubu has been following their activities in the past few months and is pleased with the inroads they’ve made.
Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru, has demanded the arrest wanted terrorist kingpin, Bello Turji.
Badaru order to troops of Operation Fansar Yamma to apprehend Turji comes barely 24 hours after President Bola Tinubu reshuffled his cabinet.
Addressing troops at the One Brigade Headquarters in Gusau, Zamfara State, on Thursday, Badaru commended the soldiers for their efforts in getting rid of criminal elements in the country.
He stated that President Bola Tinubu has been following their activities in the past few months and is pleased with the inroads they’ve made.
“He urged me to thank you and to urge you to do more to end insecurity in these areas of operation and the country. He is ready to provide all you need to end insecurity in the Northwest and Nigeria.”
“I had some reassurances from the commander officer and was pleased, sure that we would reach the goal. Are you ready to finish with them? Are ready to end it? Please get me Turji.”
Badaru’s comment comes three weeks after Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, said the days of Turji were numbered.
According to the CDS, the renewed military onslaught on terrorists in the North West had sent panic to the camp of Turji and his gang.
“You can see from the action that he is taking, you will know that he is in a state of panic. He used to be emboldened to go and talk and talk as if he is the only one in charge. Now he knows he is not in charge. He knows it is a matter of time because Halilu Buzu that was killed was his master.
“So now that he knows his commander is gone, he knows he is next and so all that he is doing now is mere noise-making,” Musa had said during an interview.
The CDS said that the terrorist kingpin had already crossed the line
