Sokoto Local Government Chairman, Isa Saleh Bashir, has confirmed attacks on terrorist camps in Tangaza, targeting forest areas used by militants. The operations affected villages like Tandami, aiming to disrupt terrorist activities. This comes after reports of a foreign armed group, Lakurawa, operating in the area, luring youths with N1 million for membership and imposing Shari’ah law on local communities.
The group, reportedly from Libya, Mali, and Niger Republic, has been accused of killing soldiers, robbing locals, and collecting religious taxes. Residents have expressed concerns about their presence, citing fears of violence and indoctrination.
