The Nigerian DHQ has confirmed that it has initiated a strike operations against newly formed terror group known as LUKAWARAS
Alleged to have links with ISIS in the Sahel, Lukawaras has been accused of causing unrest and imposing levies on local communities,
The spokes person for the DHQ, Major General Edward Buba said that Now that we know where they are, we are already going after them, and we will take them out,”
Describing Lukarawas as ISIS-affiliated jihadists from Mali and Niger, Maj-Gen Buba noted, “This is the first time the Sahelian jihadists are making an incursion in our country.”
Initial community relations masked their intentions, only for locals to realise the threat as they began imposing levies.
The military has intensified intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations to pinpoint Lukarawas fighters, with ISR measures allowing troops to track movements and disrupt potential regrouping.
Major General Buba said that the region’s vast, under-governed terrain poses challenges but vowed that the military will eliminate the threat.
This operation aligns with Nigeria’s broader counter-terrorism strategy, which has evolved since the insurgency led by Boko Haram.
