The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Nigeria Police Force, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has debunked rumors suggesting the affiliation of the wanted terrorist kingpin, Turji Bello, with the Nigeria Police.
Adejobi dismissed the speculations in a concise statement shared on the X platform on Wednesday.
His response was prompted by a netizen, @OnyiPathfinder, who asserted that Turji Bello had joined the Police Force.
Alongside a photo of Turji Bello in what seemed to be a Police uniform, @OnyiPathfinder challenged Adejobi to clarify the status of the wanted terrorist.

In reply, Adejobi stated, “Turji has never been recruited into the police. It’s a lie. This picture is not a new one.”
Turji Bello, a notorious leader of bandits and terrorists, is currently active in the northern region of Nigeria and has been officially declared wanted by security forces.
