The Defence Headquarters has stated that engaging in a war of words with bandit kingpin Bello Turji is an insult, calling him a “dead man walking”.
The comment comes after Turji issued a challenge to the military in a viral video, saying it targets the elderly while demanding the release of a detained associate, Baka Wurgi.
The notorious bandit leader also threatened terror on Zamfara residents in 2025 if his demands were not met.
Addressing the threat during the end-of-year briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, the Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Edward Buba called it an empty rhetoric.

Buba promised that Turji would end up meeting the same fate as other bandit leaders.
“Bello Turji is merely a dead man walking. It would be insulting to engage in a war of words with a terrorist. Before him, others who dared to boast against security forces have all been neutralised. The same fate awaits Turji and his likes.
“These so-called terrorist leaders who think they are untouchable will eventually meet their end. Many have been buried on the battlefield, and 2025 will see the same fate for others. Their time is up,” he said.
