Terrorised northerners advised to help Nigerian military capture Bello Turji

The North-West Youths for Peace and Development has called on people in the region to support the military in its renewed onslaught against Bello Turji and other terrorists.
The coordinator of the group, Salihu Bello, made the call while addressing journalists on Wednesday in Abuja.
Mr Bello also urged the people to show appreciation to the armed forces for its relentless efforts to tackle the criminal activities of Mr Turji and other bandits.
“The military needs our help to restore peace and order in the North-West.
“While our region is seeking ways to advance economically, here we are dealing with forces of retrogression, people who don’t want our region to make progress.
“Unfortunately, they are our people. How did we get here? Who are the people directly or indirectly supporting them?
“We once more appeal to our people to support the military,” he said.
