Terror: Lakurawa Not New In Northern Nigeria- ACF
The Publicity Secretary of the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, Prof Muhammad-Baba Tukur, has said that the Lakurawa terror group in some parts of northern Nigeria is not new.
The chieftain of ACF also said that at some point, around 2017, the Department of State Services, DSS, and the group had reached a deal to leave peacefully or be attacked.
The Defence Headquarters announced a new terrorist group ‘Lakurawa’ had emerged in the North-Western part of Nigeria
But appearing on Channels Television on Monday, Tukur said, “This is not a new group. In fact, when they emerged about 2017 and 2018, I think, at least, the DSS is aware of it.
“At least one journalist who came and spoke on the issue said he had a meeting with the DSS.
“At that time when everything went wild, we thought they had been chased out only to be told later on that it was a deal that they should either leave or they would be attacked.
“They decided to leave and ask for time to get rid of some of the cattle they possessed, whether it was cattle they took from people as zakat.”
