Suspected Lakurawa terrorists on Sunday attacked Birnin Dede village in Kebbi State, killing no fewer than 13 people.

The attack appeared to be a reprisal following the killing of their leader, Maigemu, by a combined security force in Kebbi.

The assailants also reportedly set at least eight villages on fire near Birnin Dede, all within the Arewa LGA of the state.

It was gathered that the attack was carried out in retaliation for the killing of the Lakurawa leader by security forces.

The Chairman of Arewa LGA, Sani Aliyu, confirmed the attack to newsmen.

It could be recalled that combined security forces, with the support of Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris, recently killed the group’s kingpin, Maigemu, as part of ongoing efforts to curb the activities of armed groups in the North-West state.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the Kebbi State Police Command, SP Nafiu Abubakar, is yet to comment on the development as he did not respond to calls or text messages seeking further details on the incident.
