DHQ reacts to ‘alleged’ arrest of bandits’ kingpin Bello Turji
Following recent social media reports claiming the arrest of wanted terrorist leader Bello Turji by troops from Operation Fasan Yamma in the North West, the Nigerian Defence Headquarters has swiftly dismissed these reports as false and misleading.

The public is urged to ignore these reports and refrain from spreading unverified information.”
