Intelligence and security expert, Yahuza Getso, has stated that bandit leader Bello Turji is not in hiding as commonly believed, emphasizing that he could be apprehended within 24 hours if the government is truly committed.
Getso made these remarks on Monday during an interview on The Morning Brief, a program on Channels Television, which was monitored by DAILY POST.
He noted that Turji remains at large despite the government being provided with intelligence regarding his location at various times.
DAILY POST reports that Getso’s comments come in light of recent claims made by Turji over the weekend.
Turji allegedly asserted that he has maintained a connection with the current Minister of Defence, Bello Matawalle, as well as two former Northern governors, accusing these former governors of complicity in the country, particularly in the North.
The bandit leader also claimed that he took part in several peace meetings with the Zamfara State Government during the tenure of a former governor of the state.
In response to these developments, Dr. Getso stated: “This matter extends beyond Bello Turji and the Minister of State for Defence, among others already mentioned. It involves national security, national integrity, and issues of compromise.
“Firstly, I don’t believe Turji confirmed a relationship with Matawalle in his statements. Although he acknowledged that there was a dialogue, it was facilitated by an individual who was later appointed as a Special Assistant.
“The pressing question is: where is the intelligence? In the new video released on Saturday, Bello Turji clarified that the animal feed was not given to him for free, but that he purchased it.
“Where is our intelligence? Who facilitated these discussions? Who are the accomplices? They have been identified in government under Matawalle, Tambuwal, Masari, Mallam Dauda Lawal, Dikko Rada, and others.
“Numerous allegations have been made. What is truly happening with our intelligence and investigations?
“What is the status of the judiciary and those who have been identified as accomplices? There are compromises and saboteurs within the judiciary.”
