and bandit gangs.
Speaking with AFP on Saturday, Bwala said: “ISIS found their
way through the Sahel to go and assist the Lakurawa and the bandits with
supplies and with training. ISIS, Lakurawa and bandits were targeted.”
The US carried out attacks on terrorist enclaves in Sokoto
State on Christmas Day.
