The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, confirmed this development.<\/p>\n<p>The latest military offensive has already eliminated two of Turji\u2019s top lieutenants, Kachalla Gwammade and Kachalla Shehu, in a decisive strike on Thursday night. Their deaths have reportedly caused panic within Turji\u2019s ranks, forcing him and his men to seek urgent escape routes.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the CDS Joint Task Force Commanders Conference in Abuja on Friday, Musa revealed that fresh offensives in Tufan and Mashima villages have further weakened armed groups, pushing them deeper into the forests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a symbolic move against banditry, security forces revisited Bello Turji\u2019s former stronghold,\u201d Musa stated. \u201cThe remaining sections of his camp, previously targeted in past operations, were completely destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2024\/10\/05\/banditry-youre-the-next-to-go-down-defence-chief-tells-turji\/\">Turji<\/a> and his close associate, Sani Black, are now desperately trying to evade capture as the military keeps up the pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Musa emphasized that these operations send a strong message to criminal factions nationwide\u2014the era of unchecked lawlessness is ending.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor years, terrorists and criminals exploited our country\u2019s rough terrain to establish fortified hideouts and launch deadly attacks,\u201d he said. \u201cBut with this renewed military effort, things are changing. Ground troops are advancing, and airstrikes are dismantling terror networks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He assured Nigerians that elite forces from land, air, and maritime units are working together to enhance national security.<\/p>\n<p>As the battle against terrorism continues, Musa urged military commanders to remain focused, acknowledging the scale of their mission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur forces will keep
