Nigerian Government Knows Where Bello Turji Is But Fails To Arrest Him Because They Are Not Serious — Security Expert
An intelligence and Security Expert, Dr Yahuza Getso, has lamented how terrorist Bello Turji remained unarrested despite providing intelligence on the whereabouts to the government at various times.
Speaking in a televised interview, Getso Bello Turji said Bello is not in hiding as popularly believed, saying he could be arrested within 24 hours only if the government is serious.
Getso’s revelation comes following a fresh allegation by Turji over the weekend.
Turji, over the weekend, alleged to have maintained a relationship with the current Defense Minister, Bello Matawalle, and some former Northern governors.
He also alleged participating in a series of peace meetings with the Zamfara State government during the administration of a former governor of the state.
Reacting to the development, Dr Getso said, “This is beyond Bello Turji and the Minister of State for Defence, and others already mentioned. This is a question of national security, national integrity, and issues of compromise.
“First, I don’t think Turji affirmed a relationship with Matawalle with what he said. Although he said yes, there was a dialogue, which was facilitated by the person later appointed as SA.
“The question is: Where is the intelligence? Bello Turji, in the new video released on Saturday, clarified that the animal food was not given to him for free, but that he purchased it.
“Where is our intelligence? Who facilitated the discussion? Who are the accomplices? They have been found in the government during Matawalle, Tambuwal, Masari, Mallam Dauda Lawal, Dikko Rada, and others.
“A lot of allegations have been raised. What is really happening with our intelligence and investigation?
“What is happening with the judiciary and those who have been named as accomplices? There are compromises and saboteurs on the side of the judiciary.
“We have had apprehensions, but neither the judiciary nor security agencies has given us an update on those arrested and alleged in the matter.
“When we look at the issue in Kwara State, I’m not surprised about those who have been named already.
“Do we really have a responsible government. If we did, they would have been able to fish out these people who have been implicated in this matter.
“I don’t believe that Bello Turji is the most wanted because he is not in any hideout.
“Times without number, I have provided information that would have aided in capturing Bello Turji long ago, but they have never been serious about it.”
