Nigerian Defence Chief Rejects Terror Leader, Bello Turji’s Offer To Surrender, Vows To Smoke Him Out

|SECURITY| The Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, General Christopher Musa, has revealed that notorious terrorist kingpin, Bello Turji, has declared his willingness to surrender due to intense military power.

Mr Musa, however, said the armed forces won’t accept his offer and vowed to smoke him out from his hiding place.

Mr Musa, who revealed this during an interview with Channels TV on Friday, added that the terrorist has discarded most of those under him.

“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, and 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, Mr Musa said.

He, however, said despite Mr Turji’s reported willingness to surrender, the defence chief maintained that anybody who has engaged in killing innocent citizens must not be spared.

“We want to take everybody out. Anybody who has killed should go, people like him should not be allowed to stay,” Mr Musa added.
