Countering Lakurawa Recruitment in Northwest Nigeria [bicc policy brief]

Abstract

Jihadist insurgents of the Lakurawa group remain active on Nigerian soil, where they continue to recruit new members. Without immediate, coordinated federal and local interventions to counter the insurgent group’s influence, the Nigerian state risks the entrenchment of parallel insurgent governance, increased radicalisation of rural communities, and the consolidation of a Sahelian insurgency through its Northwest corridor.
