The community source told our correspondent on phone that the terrorists were in their hundreds when they were struck by the Army in their hideout. He described the killing of the gunmen as “a sigh of relief” to the people of Babanna, a border town with Benin Republic.
Communities in Borgu ocal government area are among the most terrorized by bandits and other insurgents in recent time. The new terrorist group, the Lukarawa, in July announced their presence at Kemenji, community in the same Borgu Local Government area of the state, killing four people, including a woman.
The group equally unleashed terror on Luma community and burnt down all the security check points, including all the operational vehicles at the checkpoints leading to the Kainji National Park.
The group was alleged to have hoisted its flag at the Kainji National Park in the area.
