The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has revealed that notorious terrorist kingpin Bello Turji is currently in a state of panic due to the intensified military offensive against terrorists in the North West region.
Speaking in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) during their inaugural Annual International Lecture on Thursday in Abuja, General Musa explained that the recent elimination of Halilu Buzu and several other high-ranking terrorist commanders has unsettled Turji and his group.
He noted that Turji’s recent behavior reflects his growing fear and anxiety in response to the military’s renewed operations.

“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,” he said.
The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, stated that notorious terrorist leader Bello Turji has crossed a point of no return.
He emphasized that the ongoing military operations will persist, leading to the downfall of many more terrorists.
According to General Musa, the prolonged insecurity in the region is largely due to poverty, illiteracy, and the absence of effective governance in the affected areas.
“So they have a large population of youths not doing anything.
“The more we take them out, more are joining them and then you remember, we have 1,500 kilometers border with Niger Republic.
“We have another border with Benin Republic and so a lot of people filter in and out within Nigeria.
“So efforts are being made to ensure that we secure those borders to deny them the ability to move in,” he said.
