The newly emerged terror group known as Lakurawa, is reportedly offering as much as one million naira to young men in exchange for their allegiance. This was made known on Saturday by Zagazola Makama, a Lake Chad Basin counterterrorism and insurgency expert, in a post on his X handle.
Makama disclosed that an impeccable source informed him that Lakurawa, allegedly composed of individuals from Mali, Chad, Libya, Niger, and Burkina Faso, was actively recruiting local youths in Sokoto through substantial financial incentives. He stated that according to witnesses' accounts, the financial lure is part of an aggressive recruitment campaign aimed at attracting followers to their cause.
Makama added: 'Local sources suggest that they employ a combination of financial incentives and ideological influence to gain support among vulnerable communities. 'Beyond the recruitment, the Lakurawa reportedly confront and expel bandits and confiscate their cattle in areas under their control. 'The Lakurawa extremists are yet to carry out any attack in the North West.
