The Federal Government of Nigeria has urged to deal decisive with Lakurawa, a new armed terror group, Lakurawa that emerged in the Northwest Nigeria recently.
The call was made by Ohanaeze Ndigbo the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation in a statement on Tuesday by its Secretary General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro.
Ohanaeze noted that the new group poses an imminent threat, not just to the fabric of local governance, but more critically, to the lives and livelihoods of Igbo compatriots who reside in the region.
“These terrorists now act as self-appointed adjudicators, meddling in the administration of justice and conducting illegal trials under the guise of traditional leadership. This flagrant usurpation of power is an affront to the rule of law and cannot be allowed to continue unchallenged.
“In light of these distressing developments, the safety of Igbo communities in Kebbi is gravely compromised. We have received numerous accounts detailing the perilous circumstances faced by Igbo traders, whose economic activities have been drastically curtailed due to the menacing presence of Lukurawa.
