💨 Abstract

In Nigeria's northwestern Kebbi state, at least 16 people were killed in a clash between local security forces and Lakurawa insurgents, who had raided villages and stolen cattle. The Lakurawa group, an Islamist militant group that emerged following a 2023 coup in Niger, was declared a terrorist organization by a federal court in Nigeria in January. The military can now use maximum force against the group.
