The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa has stated that notorious bandit kingpin, Bello Turji disclosed that he is ready to surrender.
Musa made the disclosure on Friday after Turji’s second-in-command and other lieutenants were neutralised by the military.
According to the CDS, the bandit kingpin has been forced to discard most of those under him, signalling his willingness to lay down his arms.
“They (terrorists) are within the communities; the people know them. So, sometimes when they see them, before you get the information, it’s like two hours – the man has moved. So, when the information gets to you before you move, he has left that area.
“But I can tell you, we have taken out his second in command, we have taken out most of his lieutenants, in fact, he is forced now to release most of the people under him.
“I am telling you that recently he is beginning to say that he doesn’t want anything, he is ready to surrender,” Musa said while appearing on Channels Politics Today.
