Troops of the Nigerian Army on Tuesday morning engaged in a fierce battle with bandits led by Turji Bello.<\/p>\n

The heavy gun duel took place near Bakin Gulbi, close to Tungar Yakuba in Sokoto State.<\/p>\n

Disclosing this, counter-terrorism publication focused on the Lake Chad area, Zagazola Makama, said the duel also involved residents of Gatawa.<\/p>\n

Makama said: \u201cIntense fighting has erupted early this morning, starting around 6:00 a.m., as residents of Gatawa and Nigerian soldiers engaged in a fierce battle with notorious bandit leader Bello Turji and his fighters.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurther updates on the situation are expected as both sides continue their fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrior to the attack, Bello Turji held a clandestine meeting in the village of Dan Tasakko, near Gatawa, shortly after sunset yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal sources say the meeting involved key figures from his network, raising alarms about potential security threats in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n
