‘They Will Never Win Over Nigeria,’ – Shehu Sani Reacts To Video Of Bandits Capturing Military Armoured Vehicle

Former federal lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th Senate, has strongly condemned a viral video showing a terrorist with an armoured vehicle reportedly seized from the Nigerian military.

Naija News reports that the video, which surfaced online, features notorious terrorist Bello Turji and his gang celebrating their capture of a Nigerian Army Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC). The footage has sparked widespread concern and debate across social media platforms.

Reacting to the video on his official X account on Sunday, Sani emphasized that the incident does not diminish Turji’s status as a dangerous criminal. He urged Nigerians not to undermine the efforts of the military based on this setback, pointing out that even the most advanced military forces in the world face similar challenges.

Sani also labeled Turji and his gang as “mass murderers, kidnappers, and rapists,” asserting that they will never succeed in their attempts to destabilize the country. The former lawmaker wrote, “The terrorist Bello Turji posting a video of a captured armoured vehicle doesn’t make him a hero or less of a criminal. Those using his propaganda images to demean the efforts and sacrifices of armed forces and the police should be reminded that even the most advanced military in the world can experience this kind of temporary setback.”

He went on to highlight the importance of recognizing the sacrifices made by military personnel who work tirelessly to protect the country, allowing citizens to live in peace. “You must appreciate the fact that the reason why you can still sleep in your homes with your family and go about your normal lives is that there are thousands of personnel out there sacrificing their own lives and comfort for your own,” he stated.

“Turji and his criminal gang are mass murderers, kidnappers, and rapists. They will never win over our country. It’s a matter of time,” the former lawmaker concluded.
