Sokoto Operation: Nigerian Forces Nab 18 Suspects Tied to Notorious Terrorist Bello Turji [Video]

Miitary Operation Yields Results: 18 Bello Turji Militants Captured in Sokoto State.

A daring operation by Nigerian security forces near the Nigeria-Niger border has resulted in the capture of at least 18 fighters affiliated with notorious terrorist kingpin Bello Turji. The arrests come on the heels of the gruesome murder of District Head Isa Muhammad Bawa by bandits.

A viral video, posted by security analyst and counter-insurgency expert Zagazola Makama, shows the captured terrorists being held in a cell, subjected to ridicule, and interrogated by security operatives. The video, which has garnered significant attention online, provides a rare glimpse into the successes of Nigeria’s counter-terrorism efforts.

In the video, a security operative can be heard taunting the captured militants, saying, “I bring you greetings with peace. Here with us are bandits, Bello Turji’s fighters whom we captured along the border between Nigeria and Niger.

The arrests are a significant blow to Bello Turji’s network, which has been responsible for a string of violent attacks in Northwest Nigeria. The operation underscores the Nigerian military’s commitment to rooting out terrorism and restoring peace to the region.

Makama, who posted the video, noted that the arrests were made during a security operation aimed at dismantling Bello Turji’s militant group. The capture of these high-profile militants is expected to deal a significant blow to the terrorist organization’s operations in the region.

The video, which has been widely shared on social media, shows the captured militants being interrogated and mocked by security operatives. The militants, who appear to be in their early twenties, are seen seated on the floor, surrounded by security personnel.

The operation that led to the capture of the militants is believed to have been launched in response to the recent surge in terrorist attacks in the region. The Nigerian military has been working to dismantle Bello Turji’s network, which has been responsible for numerous attacks on civilians and security personnel.

The capture of the 18 militants is a significant achievement for the Nigerian military and a major blow to Bello Turji’s organization. The operation is seen as a testament to the military’s commitment to restoring peace and security to the region.

Security analysts have praised the operation, saying it demonstrates the military’s ability to gather intelligence and conduct effective counter-terrorism operations.

This operation shows that the Nigerian military is capable of taking the fight to the terrorists,” said Zagazola Makama, the security analyst who posted the video. “It’s a significant achievement and a major blow to Bello Turji’s organization.
