Following attacks by the new terrorist group Lakurawa, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has deployed troops to Augie LGA in Kebbi State.

The deployment followed an urgent appeal by Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State, requesting federal support to curb the group’s violent activities.

The troops, equipped with armoured tanks and advanced weapons, were received by the Kebbi State deputy governor, Umar Tafida, before proceeding to Mera where the terrorist group struck.

Disclosing this, the governor’s media aide, Abdullahi Idris Zuru, said the deployment was essential as the new armed groups are severely disrupting life for rural residents.

“The governor has pledged to ensure the safety of lives and property for all Kebbi State citizens, prompting him to seek federal assistance to counter terrorism across the state,” Zuru emphasized.

The recent attack on Mera village by the Lakurawa group has displaced many residents and left the community reeling from loss.
