    Troops Eliminate 7 Turji’s Commanders, 24 Other Bandits

    The troops of Operation Fansan Yanma have successfully neutralized 24 bandits, including seven high-ranking commanders of wanted bandits leader, Bello Turji in the ongoing onslaught against bandits in the North-West.

    Among the seven prominent commanders neutralised were: Abu Dan Shehu, Jabbi Dogo, Dan Kane, Basiru Yellow, Kabiru Gebe, Bello Buba and Dan Inna Kahon Saniya (alias Yafi Bahaushe)

    These individuals were pivotal to Turji’s operations, coordinating attacks, managing logistics and facilitating the movement of arms and supplies across the region.

    The week-long offensive aimed at dismantling Turji’s operational network targeted hideouts and camps in Shinkafi and Isa LGAs, areas notorious for criminal activities.

    Checks revealed that the operation involved ground troops supported by precision airstrikes by the Air Components and intelligence driven raids.

    Zagazola Makama reports that the operation, carried out by Special Forces of the Nigerian Army’s 1 Brigade and the Nigerian Navy Special Boat Services, in several hideouts of the bandits with the recent successes which took place on January 22, 2025, in Gebe village, Isa Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

    The operation was marked by sustained engagements, including ambushes, search-and destroy missions, and strategic airstrikes. It also resulted in the recovery of weapons, ammunition, and motorcycles used by the bandits to terrorize communities.

    In recent months, the Nigerian Armed Forces have escalated their offensive against bandits following reports of heightened banditry, kidnappings, and attacks on civilians and security personnel, in Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina and Birnin Kebbi.

    The recent escalation of military offensives against Bello Turji, killing of his 7 Commanders alongside the dismantling of his hideouts and the confirmed death of his son, signifies a pivotal moment in the fight against banditry in Northwest region as a whole.

    The reports of his loyalists relocating injured fighters and Turji himself seeking refuge in Maradun LGA highlight the impact of the military’s intensified offensives.

    These developments indicate that his operations have been severely crippled, and he is struggling to regroup.

    The destruction of his Fakai base are not just symbolic losses but operational setbacks that will weaken his control over his network.
