Lawan Warns Boko Haram Is Spreading to Nigeria’s South-West

Former Senate President Ahmad Lawan cautioned that Boko Haram is extending its operations beyond its North-East stronghold. He spoke during a recent plenary, linking a rise in abductions, kidnappings and massacres to the group’s goal of establishing a caliphate in Nigeria. Lawan highlighted the May 15 attack in Oriire, Oyo State, where dozens of schoolchildren and staff were kidnapped by terrorists. He urged the National Assembly and federal government to take urgent steps to protect the lives and property of all Nigerians.
