A statement by the director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, said troops, on 17 January 2025, conducted clearance operations along Shinkafi, Kagara, Fakai, Moriki, Maiwa and Chindo axis.

He said troops during the operation killed scores of terrorists, including notorious terrorist leader Bello Turji’s son, on Fakai high ground where the terrorist was hiding.
He said the troops engaged the terrorists in a gunfight that resulted in high terrorist casualties and their logistics hub destroyed.

“The operations also resulted in the rescue of several kidnapped hostages held captive by Bello Turji.
“The terrorist leader, Bello Turji, in a gross cowardly act, escaped abandoning his son and combatants,” he said.

In a related development, General Buba said troops also destroyed another terrorist kingpin camp known as Idi Mallam along Zango Kagara Forest.
