ACF: Lakurawa not a new terror group, but a threat to national security

Bulama Bukarti, analyst and human rights lawyer, says Lakurawas, the new terror group, are serving as judges within communities under their control.

November 11, 2024 11:44 pmTukur Muhammad-Baba, the publicity secretary of the Arewa Consultative Forum , says the Lakurawa terrorist group operating in Sokoto and parts of Kebi states is a threat to national security.

“They are not a new group; the DSS is aware of them. We thought they had been chased out, but we later found out that it was a deal that they should either leave or be attacked,” he said.“This is a major threat to national security… When you have a group like that coming into the country and establishing bases, putting in place our security and justice administrator system, it is like they’ve taken over sovereignty.

“If you have a local problem or a dispute with your neighbour, you report to them because they’ve barred traditional rulers from intervening, and the rulers have no choice but to comply, or they face death,” Bukarti said.
