Counter-insurgency and security analyst in Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, has identified two men he described as brothers of notorious bandit leader Bello Turji.
Makama stated that they have been involved in violent activities across parts of Sokoto and Zamfara states.
In a post shared on Wednesday, Makama published a photograph of the two men and claimed they were among individuals linked to ongoing insecurity in the North-West region.
“This are the two real brothers of Bello Turji. They are ruthless and have been terrorizing the peace loving people in Sokoto and Zamfara. They will soon meet their Waterloo,” Makama wrote.
DAILY POST reports that Bello Turji is one of Nigeria’s most wanted bandit leaders and has been linked to numerous attacks, kidnappings and killings across parts of the North-West, particularly in Zamfara, Sokoto and neighbouring states.
His criminal network has remained a major security challenge despite repeated military offensives in the region.
The Federal Government and security forces have intensified operations against armed groups operating in the North-West, with authorities reporting the neutralisation of several bandit commanders and the rescue of kidnapped victims in recent months.
However, attacks by criminal gangs continue to pose a threat to communities across the region.
