Renowned journalist Toju Weston has revealed a significant military victory over the notorious Bello Turji-led terrorist faction in Nigeria. In a statement posted on his official X handle, Weston disclosed that a combined operation by the Nigerian Army Special Forces and Navy Special Boat Service (SBS) operators successfully overran Turji’s stronghold. The elite forces neutralized Turji’s son and several of his fighters during the high-stakes operation.
Weston also revealed a critical detail: the insurgents’ communication channels were intercepted during the operation. In the intercepted transmission, Turji was heard desperately calling for help and reinforcements from allied bandit groups. This desperation underscores the growing pressure on terrorist factions operating within Nigeria as the military intensifies its counterinsurgency efforts.
In a bold and defiant tone, Weston concluded his statement with a biblical undertone, saying, “God will judge our enemies; we’ll arrange their meeting.” The declaration mirrors the nation’s collective resolve to bring an end to the reign of terror inflicted by bandit groups.
The successful raid is part of a broader push by Nigeria’s armed forces to dismantle terrorist networks that have destabilized parts of the country. The collaboration between the Army Special Forces and the Navy SBS highlights the increasing effectiveness of inter-agency military operations. It also sends a clear message to insurgents that their days of impunity are numbered.
While Bello Turji’s fate remains unconfirmed, the operation has undoubtedly dealt a severe blow to his group’s operational capacity. Security experts believe this victory marks a turning point in the fight against banditry and terrorism in Nigeria.
This resounding success serves as a reminder of the armed forces’ commitment to restoring peace and stability to regions plagued by insecurity. Nigerians now await further updates as the military continues its pursuit of Turji and other insurgent leaders.
