By Akeem Atoyebi
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa has said same that notorious bandit kingpin, Bello Turji has made known his readiness to surrender.
Musa said this on Friday after Turji’s second-in-command and other lieutenants were killed by the military.
According to the CDS, the bandit kingpin has been forced to discard most of those under him, signalling his willingness to lay down his arms.
“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, 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,” Musa said while appearing on Channels Politics Today.
