DHQ declares Bello Turji, Ado Aliero, other suspected terrorists wanted

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has declared Zamfara bandit kingpin, Bello Turji, and 18 other suspected terrorists wanted.

The names of the suspected terrorists are contained in a poster released by Jimmy Akpor, director of defence information, on Monday.

The wanted terrorists are said to have been terrorising Katsina, Sokoto and Zamfara states.

The DHQ promised to reward anyone who has information that could lead to the arrest of one of the suspected terrorists with the sum of N5 million.

Ado Aliero, a suspected bandit leader, who was turbaned in July 2022 as Sarkin Fulani in Zamfara is one of the wanted terrorists.

Aliero was given the chieftaincy title despite being on the police’s wanted list since 2019.

The chieftaincy title sparked criticism – a development which prompted Bello Matawalle, governor of Zamfara, to suspend the emir who awarded the title to Aliero
