The Nigerian government has made a strong promise to eliminate the Lukarawas terror group, which recently emerged in parts of Nigeria’s North-West region.
National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu stated this commitment at the Comptroller General of Customs’ Conference held in Abuja on Wednesday, highlighting the government’s focus on ending violent threats and protecting citizens across the country.
Addressing attendees, Ribadu warned the group, saying, “This Lukarawas terror group, or whatever it is called, is making a mistake. Nobody ever dares Tinubu and wins. They have come at the wrong time. Nobody has ever defeated Tinubu. We will kick you out of Nigeria.”
Ribadu also shared that, in recent months, Nigerian security forces have made significant strides against insecurity in the northern region. He revealed that hundreds of bandits have been neutralized, which he described as a step toward securing the region for the people of Nigeria.
The recent activities of the Lukarawas terror group have created significant disruption in Kebbi and Sokoto states. The Defence Headquarters confirmed their presence and identified the group as a rising threat in the North-West, where local communities have faced increasing violence.
