Recalled that Nigeria’s Defense Headquarters, DHQ, has confirmed the existence of a new terrorist group in Sokoto and Kebbi States, namely Lukurawa.
The emergence of this group is said to have brought a dark cloud over the Northwest States, as they have been described by locals as deadly and could pose more threat than bandits and Boko Haram.
Although there was no claim of responsibility for this attack by any group, locals believe that the Lukurawa group may be behind the attack following the refusal of some locals to join or allow their children to accept inducement to join the new fighting terror group.
