A 23-year-old displaced person was this morning found beheaded in an Internally Displaced Persons' (IDP) camp in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital, Daily Trust is reporting.
 
Millions of people rendred homeless as a result of Boko Haram's insurgency have been taking refuge in IDP camps pending the time their homes will be safe and habitable enough for them to go back.
 
Boko Haram has been blamed for most of the terror attacks and killings in Northeastern Nigeria and described as one of the world’s deadliest terror groups.
 
According to the Global Terrorism Index, a report released by the New York-based Institute for Economics and Peace, it “has become the most deadly terrorist group in the world”.
 
 
 
 
The group’s six-year insurgency in North-eastern Nigeria has led to the death of some 17,000 people, destroyed more than 1,000 schools and displaced more than 1.5million people.
 
The insurgency has kept about one million children out of school in Nigeria, particularly in the three neighbouring states, the UN children’s agency said earlier this week.
 
 
 
 
Boko Haram has sworn allegiance to the Islamic State and often displays its trademark black flag. Only a few days ago, the Islamic State, to which Boko Haram is affiliated, said its West Africa division had launched more than 100 attacks, killing more than 1,000 people over the past two months, the Site Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist websites, reported.
 
Still, there are growing fears that a once localised hardline Muslim movement is morphing into a regional jihadist threat as Boko Haram launches attacks on Nigeria’s neighbours Chad, Cameroon and Niger.
 
Stay Tuned For Details….
