  This strategic move underscores  the unwavering commitment of government  to restoring peace and security in the region.  While in the North West they will supervise operations and ensure that Bello Turji and his Bandits gang are flushed out.
‘These criminal Bandits have been circulating videos of a Nigerian military Armoured vehicle that was stuck in a water logged area and late in the night  the officers were asked to withdraw to avoid being ambushed by bandits, later in the night the bandits went to the  water  logged area, recording video of the Armoured vehicle that was stuck and celebrating it.
