The new terror group operates in Kebbi and Sokoto States. The Lukarawa terrorists are a fallout of the political instability in the two countries.

It was gathered that Lukarawa terrorists have commenced a recruitment process to bolster their fighting capabilities.

The Director of Media Operations, Maj Gen Edward Buba, said the military is working closely with other security agencies and the state government to stop the recruitment efforts.

According to The Punch, Buba said Lukarawa terrorists were using sermons and welfare packages to entice the youth and social media to drive recruitment efforts.

“The group is employing social media platforms, showcasing sermons, and enticing recruits with welfare packages.

“Nevertheless, we know of these plans and are working together with other security forces and the state government to thwart the efforts of the terrorist.”

He added that:

“Yes, they might be trying to recruit some people. The intelligence services are monitoring their activities intending to put them in check so that they don’t take root within that area.”
