Lakurawa terrorists killed 33 in Kebbi communities - Police

 Lakurawa terrorists have killed at least 33 residents during
a series of attacks on some communities in Arewa LGA of Kebbi state.

 

The group launched the attacks on the communities on
Wednesday.

 

In a statement on Thursday, Bashir Usman, Kebbi police
spokesperson, detailed that the insurgents invaded the communities to rustle
cattle but were confronted by the residents.

 

He added that the terrorists entered the communities from
Gudu LGA of Sokoto state.

 

 

“The command deeply regrets the loss of thirty-three
innocent lives and extends its heartfelt condolences to the families affected
and the entire Arewa community,” the statement reads.

 

“Preliminary investigations confirm that armed Lakurawa
militants entered the area to rustle cattle. The assailants are believed to
have crossed into the district from Gudu Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

 

“Residents from Mamunu, Awasaka, Tungan Tsoho, Makangara,
Kanzo, Gorun Naidal, and Dan Mai Ago mobilized in response, during which the
fatal confrontation occurred.

 

“The Command emphasizes that incidents involving armed
criminal elements require coordinated security intervention.

 

“Members of the public are urged to promptly report
suspicious movements through established security channels rather than engage
directly, as such confrontations pose grave risks.”

 

The Kebbi police spokesperson said security operatives have
been mobilised to the communities.

 

In March 2025, six members of a vigilance group in Kebbi
were killed by bandits following a cattle rustling incident in Dan Tulu and
Rusakde villages, Arewa LGA of Kebbi.
