Nigerian Army will overcome Boko Haram, ISWAP, bandits, Lakurawa – Shehu Sani

Former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani on Saturday expressed hope that the Nigerian Armed Forces will overcome bandits, ISWAP, Boko Haram and Lakurawa terrorist groups.

Sani pointed out that no Army in Africa is as engaged and stretched like that of Nigeria.

Posting on X, Sani wrote: “The Nigerian Armed Forces are fighting the ISWAP and Boko Haram in the North East and bandits and Lakurawa terrorist group in the North Western part of the country.

“No Army in Africa is engaged and stretched to this level. We appreciate their patriotism and sacrifices to secure our country. We shall overcome.”

Sani’s remark comes amid warnings from the Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa that any Lakurawa terrorist seen by the Nigerian troops is as good as dead.

Musa was reacting to the court order that designated Lakurawa as a terrorist organization.

The Federal High Court in Abuja proscribed the Lakurawa sect and similar groups.

Justice James Omotosho, in a ruling on the ex-parte originating summons filed by the Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, also declared the group as a terrorist organisation.

Musa said the Nigerian troops now have the legal backing to eliminate members of the Lakurawa sect.
