New terror group clashes with Kebbi locals claim 15 people died

No fewer than 15 people were reportedly died in Kebbi State, when the natives of the Mera community clashed with the new terrorist group, Lakurawa.
The new group allegedly has links to ISIS, which operates in the Sahel.
According to a BBC Hausa report monitored by Vanguard, the incident happened on Friday near the Mera community in Augie Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
BBC Hausa reports that the crisis ensued when members of the Lakurawa terrorist group met a local herder and attempted to rustle his animals.
The herder ran to the community and raised the alarm, and community members marched to the location where they engaged the terrorists in a fight, which led to the killing of 15, while many were injured.
“The locals succeeded in killing some of the terrorists and injured others.
“But the survivors among the terrorists carried their casualties and left.
“The Deputy Governor of Kebbi State has paid a condolence visit on the people of Mera and was accompanied by the Commissioner of Police and the Emir of Argungu,” the eyewitness said.
