Notorious Zamfara bandit terrorist kingpin, Bello Turji, reportedly escaped the aerial bombings carried out by the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, fighter jets on his hideouts located at Fakai in Shinkafi Local Government Area, Zamfara State.
It was recalled that many attendees were trapped in the attack that was carried out following intelligence about the gathering of the bandits at the location.
A source at the ceremony had disclosed that the event was a naming ceremony for a baby born to Turji’s family.
It was gathered that the bandits were killed during a ‘surprise raid’ by the air troops of Operation Forest Sanity.
However, Turji and most of his close associates reportedly escaped the attack, having left the spot to observe the afternoon prayer (zuhr) just before the strikes.
