The Military High Command has confirmed the killing of Bello Turji's son during a recent operation in Zamfara. This operation involved coordinated efforts from ground troops and air support, resulting in the deaths of several terrorists.
Details of the Operation
The operation took place on the Fakai high ground in Zamfara.
It was part of a larger effort by Operation Fansan Yamma.
The operation was coordinated between ground troops and the air component.
Statements from Military Officials
Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, the Director of Defence Media Operations, confirmed the details.
He stated that the operation led to the elimination of the terrorist leader's son along with many other terrorists.
Context of the Operation
This operation is part of ongoing military efforts to combat terrorism in the region.
The military has been actively targeting terrorist strongholds to restore peace and security in affected areas.
On January 17, a military operation along the Shinkafi, Kagara, Fakai, Moriki, Maiwa, and Chindo axis led to significant terrorist casualties and the destruction of a logistics hub. Additionally, several hostages held by the terrorist leader Bello Turji were rescued during this operation. The successful execution of this operation highlights the effectiveness of the troops' firepower and their commitment to combating terrorism in the region.
The rescue of hostages not only brings relief to the victims and their families but also serves as a crucial blow to the operational capabilities of the terrorist group.
The recent operations against terrorist groups have yielded significant results, as reported by military spokesperson Mr. Buba. He highlighted the cowardly escape of the terrorist leader, Bello Turji, who abandoned his son and combatants during the chaos.
In a coordinated effort, troops successfully targeted a known terrorist camp, referred to as Idi Mallam, located in the Zango Kagara Forest. This operation resulted in the elimination of three terrorists and the apprehension of three suspected collaborators.
The military also recovered a substantial cache of weapons, including two machine guns and an AK-47 rifle with a magazine containing 11 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition. Additionally, the troops seized 61 rustled cattle and 44 sheep, among other items, further disrupting the terrorists' operations.
Mr. Buba emphasized that the military is committed to maintaining pressure on terrorist groups and will continue their offensive actions to ensure the safety and security of the region.
The statement reflects the ongoing efforts of military forces to ensure the safety and security of citizens, particularly in the context of recent operations against terrorist threats. This commitment is emphasized in various reports regarding military actions in Nigeria.
