SERIOUS Tension As Bandit Kingpin Seizes Nigerian Army Vehicle, Sends SHOCKING Message To Tinubu
A shocking video has emerged online showing notorious bandit kingpin, Bello Turji, and his gang celebrating the capture of a Nigerian Army Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC). The brazen operation, which took place in the Lake Chad region, also saw the bandits seize a large quantity of ammunition from the Nigerian Army.
A video of the incident shows the moment Turji called out President Bola Tinubu and the Nigerian Army, threatening to launch attacks on them.
According to counterinsurgency and security expert, ZagaZola Makama, the incident occurred after a distress report indicated a high- level meeting of bandits at a specified location within Turji’ s camp. A team of troops, led by a young officer, was swiftly deployed to the area but became stuck in the marshy terrain, hindering their advance.
The troops came under intense fire from the bandits, triggering a heavy gunfire exchange that lasted for hours. However, due to severe weather conditions, including heavy rain, air support was unable to arrive promptly, allowing the bandits to reinforce their position.
Despite attempts to retrieve the stuck vehicle, the troops were forced to withdraw, leaving behind two MRAPs (Mine- Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles). Turji and his gang later appeared on the scene, firing shots into the air and claiming victory over the troops.
The Nigerian Army has yet to confirm the development, which raises serious concerns about the security situation in the region. This incident is a significant embarrassment for the military and a major boost for the bandits, who have been terrorizing communities in the Lake Chad region.
The seizure of military vehicles and ammunition will undoubtedly embolden Turji’ s gang, allowing them to carry out even more daring attacks. The incident also highlights the challenges faced by the military in combating the banditry, including difficult terrain and inadequate air support.
As the security situation continues to deteriorate, calls are growing for the government to take decisive action against the bandits. The people of the Lake Chad region deserve protection from these marauding criminals, and it is the responsibility of the government to ensure their safety.
The capture of Nigerian Army vehicles and ammunition by Bello Turji’ s gang is a disturbing development that underscores the need for urgent action to address the security challenges in the region. The government must take immediate steps to support the military and restore order to the affected communities.
