Speaking during a media briefing on Thursday in Abuja, the Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Markus Kangye, firmly refuted the reports.
“Simple answer to the question about terrorist leader, Bello Turji: Turji has not surrendered. We are still on the lookout for him,” Kangye stated.
It was reported that Bello Turji has been accused of masterminding several attacks on communities in the North-West.
Turji operates mainly in Zamfara and Sokoto states.
The bandit leader had been variously declared wanted by Nigerian security agencies.
Recently, there were reports that the bandit kingpin had surrendered his arms and released 32 kidnap victims.
The report came after a purported peace initiative brokered by Islamic clerics in Zamfara State.
