The defence chief emphasized that it is only a matter of time before the military captures Turji, who has caused widespread destruction across communities in Sokoto, Zamfara, and Kebbi, engaging in acts of violence, kidnapping, and extortion for ransom.

“The update is that since he knows we’ve been after him, he has been operating underground and we are conducting operations,” the CDS said when asked for an update on Turji who has been on the run for a while.

“What we have been doing, of recent, is that we are picking everybody close to him; all those giving him support in one way or the other, we have picked them, we have killed his commanders. It’s just a matter of time,” the defence chief added.
