The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has disclosed that notorious terrorist kingpin, Bello Turji, has declared that he is ready to surrender.
Musa, who said Turji does not deserve to live, spoke on Friday on a Channels Television programme: “Politics Today.”
The CDS said: “They (terrorists) are within the communities; the people know them.
“So, sometimes when they see them, before you get the information, it’s like two hours – the man has moved.
“So, when the information gets to you before you move, he has left that area.

“But I can tell you, we have taken out his second-in-command, we have taken out most of his lieutenants, in fact, he is forced now to release most of the people under him.
“I am telling you that recently he is beginning to say that he doesn’t want anything, he is ready to surrender.”
Despite Turji’s reported willingness to surrender, General Musa said anyone who has engaged in killing innocent citizens must not be spared.
He added: “We want to take everybody out.
“Anybody who has killed should go.
“People like him should not be allowed to stay.”
