Lakurawa, also known as simply Lakur, is an armed group operating in Mali, Niger, and Nigeria. Their activities are concentrated in five local government areas (LGAs) of Sokoto State, namely: Tangaza, Gudu, Illela, Binji, and Silame. Initially founded as a self-defence group to fight criminals in the Nigerian bandit conflict, the group became increasingly radical, oppressive, and opposed to regular state agencies. Lakurawa was described as a terrorist group in 2024.
