The Nigerian military is intensifying its pursuit of the terrorist group Lakurawa, which has reportedly operated from the Gongono Forest in Tangaza Local Government Area since 2018, according to enterprisetvnews.com. First flagged by the Department of State Services (DSS) in 2018, Lakurawa is alleged to have started as a group of jihadists from Algeria and Mali, invited by herdsmen to provide protection against bandits. Since then, the group has expanded, enforcing strict Islamic codes and establishing control over several communities across Sokoto and Kebbi.
