Troops of 1 Brigade of the Joint Task Force Operation Fansan Yamma, in collaboration with operatives of the Department of State Services, are actively pursuing the wanted terrorist known as Bello Turji, who remains at large, evading capture by moving from hideout to hideout.
The military assures the public that the troops are working tirelessly to apprehend him as part of its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of communities.
A statement by the Coordinator, Joint Media Coordinator Centre of Operation Fansan Yamma, Lieutenant Colonel Abubakar Abdullahi on 28 January 2025 said the operation, conducted on 27 January 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.
The suspects attempted to escape by diverting their vehicle into the bush but were forced to abandon it after being engaged by the troops.
A subsequent search of the vehicle led to the recovery of the following items: 2x PKT machine guns, 9 x AK-47 rifles, 13x magazines, 171 x rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, and 9x rounds of PKT ammunition.”
The military expressed appreciation to the public and urged locals to continue their support and cooperation by reporting any information that may assist in our efforts.
