Again, agents of the terror group Lakurawa invaded Kura village in Soron Yamma ward, Binji Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

Quoting sources, a security analyst and counter-insurgency expert in Lake Chad, Zagazola Makama, said no member of the community was injured or killed during the incident.

Zagazola also disclosed that the Nigerian Army recovered 38 rustled cattle in Kalgo village in Sokoto State and returned them to their owners in Mera village, Augie Local Government Area of Kebbi State.

The cattle were rustled by suspected Lakurawa terrorists who attacked the area.
