“It is believed that Yellow Danbokkolo was much more dreaded than Bello Turji as he masterminded the December 2021 arson on travellers in Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State, durin which all the passengers were burnt to death,” he said.

According to Kangye, Danbokolo, in order to sustain his cruelty and heinous activities, lived on endless bouts of pentazocine.

“Our exultant troops of Operation FASAN YAMA with this renewed resolve, are on the hunt for Bello Turji, who has been in hiding,” he added.

He reassured that the Armed Forces of Nigeria remains committed to restoring normalcy in all parts of the country.

The Director therefore, called for the cooperation of all Nigerians in this drive.
