In his tweet, Sani emphasized that Turji’s actions do not elevate him to the status of a hero but rather reaffirm his identity as a criminal. He criticized those who use Turji’s propaganda to undermine the efforts of the armed forces and police, reminding them that even the world’s most advanced militaries can face setbacks. “The terrorist Bello Turji posting a video of captured armoured vehicle doesn’t make him a hero or less of a criminal. Those using his propaganda images to demean the efforts and sacrifices of armed forces and the police should be reminded that even the most advanced military in the world can experience this kind of temporary setback,” Sani stated.
Sani further underscored the sacrifices made by thousands of military personnel who risk their lives to ensure the safety of citizens. He condemned Turji and his gang, labeling them as mass murderers, kidnappers, and rapists, asserting that they would ultimately fail in their attempts to destabilize the country.
The senator’s comments come amid ongoing military operations targeting banditry in Nigeria, including recent airstrikes that reportedly killed several of Turji’s fighters. As the conflict continues, the need for a united front against such criminal elements remains crucial for the safety and stability of the region.
