Bandit Leader Turji Has Not Surrendered — Defence HQ

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has dismissed reports that notorious bandit leader Bello Turji has surrendered to the military. Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Markus Kangye, clarified the situation on Thursday in Abuja while briefing journalists on the Armed Forces’ recent activities. “Simple answer to the question about terrorist leader, Bello Turji: Turji has not surrendered. We are still on the lookout for him,” Kangye said.

Group Demands Immediate Release of 48 Detained Bauchi Polytechnic Students

The Youth Arise Movement has called for the unconditional release of 48 students from the Federal Polytechnic Bauchi who were arrested during a protest over rising cases of armed robbery on campus. According to the Bauchi State Police Command, the arrests were linked to a “security breach” that occurred during the demonstration on Tuesday. Police Public Relations Officer Ahmed Wakil said officers acted on intelligence suggesting that unidentified hoodlums had scaled the institution’s fence and forcefully taken students’ phones. He noted that 48 protesters and 16 suspected robbers were taken into custody.

Armed Herdsmen, Boko Haram Kill Soldiers, Civilians in Benue and Borno

Three people were killed on Sunday by suspected armed herdsmen in Yelewata, Guma Local Government Area of Benue State, while Boko Haram insurgents attacked a military base in Borno State, killing two soldiers.
