Executive summary
On 8 November, the Nigerian armed forces announced the formation of a new Islamist group called the Lakurawas.
Having allegedly come from Niger and Mali, the group is reportedly operating in at least five Local Government Areas of Sokoto State and carried out an attack in Kebbi State.
The remote and difficult terrain of the porous border region between Nigeria and Niger makes an ideal area of operations for the group.
