The Nigerian Defence HQ Confirms New Terror Group ‘Lukarawas’ in Northwest Nigeria
The Nigerian Defence Headquarters has confirmed the emergence of a new terrorist group known as ‘Lukarawas’ in northwestern Nigeria. The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, disclosed this during a briefing in Abuja on Thursday, November 7.
According to Buba, the group originated in Niger following the recent coup, which led to a breakdown of military cooperation between Nigeria and Niger.
This disruption allowed Lukarawas fighters to infiltrate northern parts of Sokoto and Kebbi States, using difficult terrains and remote areas to evade detection.
Buba noted that some locals initially welcomed the group, unaware of its intentions, and failed to alert security forces.
He assured Nigerians that the military has intensified intelligence and surveillance efforts to counter the group, emphasizing that troops are tracking and working to eliminate the threat posed by Lukarawas.
