Recall that the Defence Headquarters, last week Thursday confirmed the emergence of the new terrorist group in the North-western part of the country.
An ex-lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has revealed that the terrorist group, Lukarawa causing havoc in Sokoto State is not new.
According to him, the terrorist group is affiliated to a chain of foreign commanders.
Recall 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, 鈥淟akurawa is not a new terrorist group. It鈥檚 part of the chain of terrorist forces unleashing evil along the length of the Sahel.
鈥淭he 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鈥�.
Sani further advised that combating and annihilating Lakurawa demands a multinational action, especially between Benin Republic, Niger & Nigeria.
鈥淧ursuing a 鈥榡ihadist鈥� 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鈥�, he wrote.
