Nigerian Army Confirms New Terrorist Group 'Lukarawas' in Northwest
The Nigerian Army has confirmed the emergence of a new terrorists group known as ‘Lukarawas’, in the northwestern part of Nigeria.
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, made this known while briefing newsmen on the operations of the military on Thursday, November 8, in Abuja.
Buba said that the new terrorist group emerged from the Republic of Niger after the coup that led to the breakdown of military cooperation between Nigeria and Niger.
Buba said that the terrorists began entering the northern parts of Sokoto and Kebbi States from the Niger Republic and Mali axis, after the coup in Niger Republic.
“The terrorists took advantage of the gaps in cooperation between both countries and exploited difficult terrains to make incursions in remote areas in some North Western states to spread their ideology,” he said.
Buba said that the group were accepted by the locals, who initially thought that they meant well for them, adding that they failed to report the movement to the military and security agencies.
According to him, troops are locating them and eliminating the threat.
