“The major difference between the Lakurawa & the Nigerian-based bandits and terror groups is that the chain of command of the former are foreigners. Lakurawa is likely to engage in a continuous battle of supremacy against their Nigerian counterparts”.

Sani further advised that combating and annihilating Lakurawa demands a multinational action, especially between Benin Republic, Niger & Nigeria.

“Pursuing a ‘jihadist’ agenda by beheading innocent people is nothing but a despicable act of lunacy. Nigeria will never be subjugated or conquered by such evil souls, but this is a challenge to ECOWAS to unite and fight”, he wrote.
