Troops Recover 38 Stolen Cattle from Lakurawa Terrorists in Kebbi and Sokoto

Nigerian Army troops have reportedly recovered 38 stolen cattle in Kalgo village, Sokoto State, and returned them to their rightful owners in Mera village, Augie Local Government Area of Kebbi State. The cattle were stolen by suspected “Lakurawa” terrorists who had attacked the communities.

A security source, Zagazola Makama, revealed that the operation was conducted by troops from the Headquarters, 1 Brigade, and 1 Battalion. Upon realizing that the troops were approaching, the suspected terrorists fled, leaving behind the 38 rustled cattle. The operation, led by the Commander of 1 Brigade, was carried out smoothly without incident.

The report confirmed that the livestock was successfully returned to the owners in Mera village. Operations are ongoing in the area to secure it further and prevent more attacks by the armed group.

This recovery operation comes in the context of increasing threats from the Lakurawa terrorists in the states of Sokoto, Kebbi, and Zamfara. On November 11, armed men believed to be from the Lakurawa group raided Kura village in Soron Yamma ward, Binji Local Government Area, stealing a significant number of livestock. However, local sources noted that no villagers were harmed or kidnapped during the raid.
