Lakurawa not new, linked to foreign terrorist command- Shehu Sani
Former federal lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has said the terrorist group, Lukarawas in Sokoto State is not new, noting that the group is affiliated to a chain of foreign commanders.
DAILY POST reports that the Defence Headquarters, last week Thursday confirmed the emergence of the new terrorist group in the North-western part of the country.
Reports indicate that members of the Lakurawa sect are currently making life unbearable for residents of Sokoto State.
Sani had earlier expressed worries over the emergence of Lukarawas in Sokoto State.
However, in a post via his X handle, Sani wrote, “Lakurawa is not a new terrorist group. It’s part of the chain of terrorist forces unleashing evil along the length of the Sahel.
“The major difference between the Lakurawa & the Nigerian-based bandits and terror groups is that the chain of command of the former are foreigners. Lakurawa is likely to engage in a continuous battle of supremacy against their Nigerian counterparts”.
Sani further advised that combating and annihilating Lakurawa demands a multinational action, especially between Benin Republic, Niger & Nigeria.
“Pursuing a ‘jihadist’ agenda by beheading innocent people is nothing but a despicable act of lunacy. Nigeria will never be subjugated or conquered by such evil souls, but this is a challenge to ECOWAS to unite and fight”, he wrote.
