News from Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters confirming the rise of a new terrorist group, Lukarawas, in the northwest has ignited online debate. A pointed comment suggested, “The ‘Lukarawas’ is the terrorist they just released in place of those children that was arrested,” implying that the government may have had a hand in creating the group. This claim comes after President Tinubu ordered the release of detained underaged protesters in the north.
The comment reflects public suspicion toward the government’s handling of security and detainee issues, with some citizens questioning whether such groups are artificially created to manipulate public perception or justify military action.
