<h2>Bashir Ahmad, a former aide to the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari, has sent an encouraging message to the military on the success of its recent operation in Zamfara State, where several bandits met their waterloo.&nbsp;</h2>

Ahmad commended the troops of the <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/troops-bust-terrorists-stronghold-in-kaduna-rescue-kidnapped-students/nq9501z">Nigerian Army for taking down the criminal elements</a>, especially a notorious kingpin identified as Kachallah Buzu.

Hours before he met his end, Kachallah - described by Zagazola Makama, a counterinsurgency expert, as the boss of another wanted criminal Bello Turji - had called for a massive action against the military.

However, the gallant <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/army-troops-kill-terrorist-leader-buzu-destroy-camp-in-zamfara-raid/dwe00kt">troops of the Army stunned the bandits</a> in a deadly swoop on Thursday, September 12, 2024, shooting dead several fighters.

The troops also recovered a large cache of weapons and motorcycles and destroyed the bandits’ hideouts in what proved to be a thorough operation.

<h3>Ahmad asks military to go after Bello Turji next</h3>

Reacting to the development in a post on his X on Friday, the former presidential aide praised the military and encouraged them to make Turji their next victim.

“May God bless the Nigerian troops! Halilu Sububu Buzu, a notorious bandit from the Niger Republic who had been terrorising the good people of Zamfara and its surroundings, met his end at the hands of the gallant Nigerian army.

“By God’s grace, Bello Turji will be next. Nigeria will prevail,” Ahmad wrote.

Commenting on the success of the operation, the chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, said <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/bandits-fed-my-abducted-relatives-drivers-flesh-to-dogs-sokoto-cleric/m6sfqn9">Turji and other criminals' days are numbered</a> as troops are committed to rid Zamfara and the entire North-West zone of insecurity.

Musa made this known when he paid a courtesy visit to Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State on Friday.
