The Shinkafi Civil Society Organization (SCSO) has commended the Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Matawalle, for spearheading a successful military operation that resulted in the death of an associate and son of notorious kidnapper Bello Turji.

The operation, conducted by the Nigerian Army over the weekend, targeted Turji’s gang following threats he made earlier this year to launch attacks on Shinkafi starting January 1, 2025. Troops, acting on Matawalle’s directives, destroyed Turji’s camp, killed several of his close associates, and inflicted significant damage on his operations.

While Turji himself escaped with serious injuries, the assault has been hailed as a major blow to his criminal network. The military’s efforts included burning down the gang’s camp and dismantling their operations in the region.

Speaking at a press briefing in Shinkafi, (SCSO) Chairman Kabiru Yahuza expressed gratitude to Matawalle for his decisive actions and unwavering commitment to the security of the area.

“The recent offensive has given Shinkafi residents renewed confidence in their safety,” Yahuza said, describing the operation as a turning point in the fight against banditry.

Residents of Shinkafi, who have endured months of attacks, have lauded the military’s success, attributing it to Matawalle’s leadership. The (SCSO) also called for continued public for the Nigerian military and local authorities, emphasizing the need for collective action in the battle against insecurity.

Despite not being the first chief security officer of Zamfara State, Minister Matawalle has shown exceptional dedication to the welfare of the people, according to Yahuza.

His proactive measures have strengthened security efforts and restored hope to communities ravaged by banditry.

The Nigerian Army’s strike serves as a testament to the growing effectiveness of the country’s security apparatus under the current istration. Authorities have urged patience and ongoing from citizens as they continue to work towards restoring peace in Zamfara and beyond.

Minister Matawalle reaffirmed his commitment to ending the reign of terror by bandits, stating that his focus remains on ensuring lasting peace and security in the region.

This is very commendable from the army

The same Mattawalle that was galivanting with terrorists as governor?

No need to thank the minister, there shouldn't be kidnapping in the first place.

Make una no go sleep forget o.

Those guys can go and regroup and come back for revenge after the military has left.

Very useless set of murderers.

Why is there so much emphasis on showering praises on Matawalle in this story?

Good job....

We don't know who bought our peace ... But we certainly know those who are paying for it.

Waiting for them to cry "audio victory"

We thank God

Kudos to Nigeria military, your bullets will continue to hit them, theirs won't come near you


If Buhari had not pamper these people, bandits are just like a ragtag criminal before Buhari empowered them with his gross incompetence


You can't win a war against terrorism with defensive war, fiat and offensive war is the only route to end terrorism. The chief of Army staff should be diligently protected

Because it's a sponsored group trying to attribute all the glory to him. Stupidity and insensitivity of many politicians. All they think of is their personal agenda.

That Turji should be tracked down and killed before real lasting peace will be be enjoyed by the people

Lies, they are all accomplices, they are angry with the army for disrupting their lucrative business.

Hmmm.. thanks. The nickname fit am well

The 2 men sitting on the floor still had their caps intact on their heads, and their attires appear quite clean.

They appear completely unruffled.

May be they were they not part of those bombed.

This is sound testimony from patriotic Nigerian yet our muddy people will still write it on twitter that nothing is working in this government unless their agulu idiot becomes plesident!

Great blow.

God bless Nigeria


There is no difference between Nnamdi Kanu, Bello Turji and Simon Ekpa.
They are all enemies of Nigeria

Turji has killed over 2000 persons and una leave am for many years.
He will still comout and call Nigeria soldiers Liars

Kudos to Mr President (Tinubu) for giving out the matching order. His boldness and audacity to clamp down on these notorious criminals would pay off soon. , this is what the last President couldn't do.

I would advise for a sustained campaign against these evil elements. Do not relent. Chase them to their death. Go after their sponsors and any state actors involved and make them face the full wrath of the law.

Thank you Nigeria Military. God protect you all
