Ameer Habib Tajje, the leader of the newly emerged terrorists group “Lakurawa,” has issued a direct and powerful message to notorious bandits leader, Bello Turji, urging him to renounce his criminal activities.
Turji, a notorious bandits leader who has been on the watchlist of Nigeria’s security agencies, has wreaked havoc in the North-West of the country with kidnapping activities and imposing levies on farmers before they can harvest their crops.
In a statement posted by counter-insurgency expert Zagazola Makama on his X handle, it was reported that the terrorists leader is preparing to send a powerful delegation to bandits leader, Bello Turji.
According to him, “In a strange turn of events, Ameer Habib Tajje, the influential leader of the Lakurawa group in the northwestern region of Sokoto, is reportedly preparing to send a powerful delegation to bandit leader Bello Turji, demanding his complete renouncement of criminal activities.”
Earlier in November, SaharaReporters reported that at least 15 persons killed by a new Jihadist group, “Lakurawa” had been buried in Kebbi State.
The state Deputy Governor, Umar Abubakar Tafida and the Emir of Argungu, Sama’ila Muhammad Mera, also attended the funeral prayers of the deceased on Friday afternoon at Mera, Kebbi State.
Recall that on November 6, 2024, reports emerged that a newly formed Jihadist group known as ‘Lakurawa’ had emerged, imposing taxes and levies on communities in Sokoto State, Northwest Nigeria.
They were reported to have set up bases in the affected local government areas, moving from community to community and preaching against western civilisation and democratic system of government, similar to the ideology of Boko Haram terrorists.
Also on Friday (yesterday) the Nigerian Defence Headquarters, officially confirmed the existence of the new armed Jihadists group “Lakurawa” in the country’s northwestern states of Sokoto and Kebbi.
The military had noted that the development was worsening security challenges in the North-West region.
On Friday afternoon, the terrorists reportedly attacked Mera, in Kebbi State, and rustled large number of cattle.
They were however, engaged by the locals, resulting in fatalities on both sides.
The spokesperson for the police in Kebbi, SP Nafiu Abubakar, has confirmed the incident, saying “Yes there was a terrorists attack on Mera yesterday (Friday) resulting in 15 deaths.”
“As of now, we are yet to ascertain the identity of the attackers. It’s too early to confirm whether the attackers were from the Lakurawa group or not,” he added.
