He wrote: \u201cBello Turji\u2019s Days Are Numbered As It Is Now! No Place To Hide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This warning aligns with the intensified offensive by Nigerian troops against Turji and his network in Zamfara State. According to Zagazola Makama, a counterterrorism and insurgency expert specializing in the Lake Chad Basin, recent coordinated military strikes have dismantled key hideouts of the bandit leader. These operations have focused on areas like Fakai in Shinkafi Local Government Area and Sabon Birni Local Government Area.<\/p>\n<p>Makama highlighted that military forces have successfully destroyed several of Turji\u2019s camps, including those in Zangon Dan Gwandi, Zangon Tsaika, Zangon Kagara, and a school reportedly used by Turji as a storage facility for foodstuffs and weapons. To prevent it from being used as a supply base, the military burned down the school during the offensive.<\/p>\n<p>The renewed military efforts signify a major push to end the reign of terror orchestrated by Turji and his network in the region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
