Bello Turji as well as a few other individuals on the wanted list. The militants’ actions in north-west Nigeria have resulted in thousands of deaths or kidnappings.
Mr. Turji had repeatedly evaded military airstrikes meant to kill him.
In August, the terrorist reportedly repented and embraced peace overtures by Zamfara State Government.
The Zamfara State Deputy Governor, Hassan Nasiha, said Mr Turji’s repentance had resulted in peace in Birnin Magaji, Shinkafi and Zurmi Local Government areas of Zamfara.
The military is, however, clearly unpertubed by the claims of the Zamfara government.
