Nobody Dares Tinubu And Wins, NSA Warns New Terror Group Lakurawa

The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, has warned the new Islamic sect in the North-West known as Lakurawa, that their days are numbered if they don’t desist from acts of terrorism.

Ribadu, who spoke at the opening ceremony of the Comptroller General of Customs Conference in Abuja on Wednesday, boasted that nobody dares President Bola Tinubu and gets away with it.

Insisting that the terrorist group have come at the wrong time when the Tinubu is in power, the NSA vowed that they will be kicked out of Nigeria.

Last week, the Defence Headquarters confirmed the emergence of a new terror group known as ‘Lukarawas’ in the Northwestern states of Sokoto and Kebbi.

Addressing a news conference in Abuja, the Director, Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, said the new terror group is exacerbating insecurity in the North-West region but the Armed Forces of Nigeria are already containing them.

“Troops are confronted with a new terrorist sect in the North-West. This sect is known as Lukawaras, the Lukawaras are affiliated to terrorists in the Sahel particularly from Mali and Niger Republic.

“They began incursion into Northern part of Nigeria, mainly Sokoto and Kebbi states, and like I mentioned, they came in from Niger and Mali axis,” General Buba said.

He added that the new terror group emerged from Mali and the Republic of Niger after the coup that led to the breakdown of military cooperation between Nigeria and Niger.

The military also declared nine terrorists wanted for their roles in the security challenges bedevilling the nation.
