Lakurawa Terrorists Ambush Nigerian Federal Lawmaker's Convoy, Kill Soldier, Injure Several Others

Lakurawa terrorists, locally referred to as bandits, on Tuesday afternoon ambushed the convoy of Jafaru Mohammad Ali Damisa, the Member representing Borgu and Agwara Federal Constituency in the Niger State House of Representatives, killing a soldier and injuring others.

SaharaReporters gathered that the terrorists also vandalised about 11 vehicles during the attack along the Lumma–Babanna road in Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State.

The attack occurred while the lawmaker was travelling to Babanna town for an official engagement, catching his security team and aides by surprise.

SaharaReporters learnt that the assailants, heavily armed and lying in wait on the road, opened fire between 1pm and 2pm, triggering panic among members of the entourage, including security escorts and political supporters.

Sources familiar with the incident told SaharaReporters, “One soldier was killed on the spot, while about eight others sustained varying degrees of injuries. The wounded personnel were immediately evacuated to the General Hospital, New Bussa, where they are currently receiving medical attention.”


“At least four supporters of Hon. Damisa were also hit by stray bullets, though medical sources confirmed none of them lost their lives,” the sources added.

SaharaReporters gathered that the attackers “vandalised about 11 vehicles in the convoy, riddling them with bullets and causing extensive damage.”

Sources further noted that all the vandalised vehicles have been evacuated from the scene as at the time of this report.

“Despite the intensity of the attack, Damisa escaped, following the swift response of his security escorts and reinforcement from troops at the Forward Operating Base (FOB) Babanna, who quickly mobilised after receiving a distress call. Their arrival led to a fierce gun duel, forcing the bandits to retreat into the forest.”

President Bola Tinubu has requested the approval of the National Assembly for a fresh ₦1.15 trillion borrowing from the domestic debt market to help finance the deficit in the 2025 budget.

The President’s request was conveyed in a letter read on the floor of the Senate during plenary on Tuesday.

According to the letter, the proposed borrowing is intended to bridge the funding gap and ensure full implementation of government programs and projects under the 2025 fiscal plan.

The Senate President subsequently referred the request to the Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debt to report back within one week for further legislative action.
