The Senate has called on the Nigerian military to collaborate with local communities to establish early warning systems aimed at detecting and preventing future attacks by the Lakurawa terrorist group.

The Senate also urged the Federal Government to deploy an assessment team to affected areas in Sokoto and Kebbi states to evaluate damages and provide immediate relief to displaced families.

It further recommended that the military maintain its presence in the affected regions to prevent the group from regrouping or expanding operations.

The resolution followed a motion moved by Senator Yahaya Abdullahi (Kebbi North), highlighting the infiltration of the Lakurawa group, identified as terrorists from Mali and Burkina Faso, through the Nigeria-Niger border.
