Labels:

According to Shehu Sani, president of the Civil Rights Congress a human rights organization based in northern Nigeria, more than 400 people have been killed in a spate of violence in the area as troops search the Borno state capital for Boko Haram sect leader Mohammed Yusuf.
  • Nigerian authorities blame Boko Haram for launching attacks on police stations and government installations in the states of Bauchi, Borno, Kano and Yobe.
  • Meanwhile, Nigerian security forces have reportedly launched an extensive manhunt for remnants of an extremist sect in the northern town of Maiduguri.
  • The move came after security forces raided the enclave of the radical Boko Haram sect in the northern Nigerian city on Tuesday in an all-out attempt to crush the group.
  • President Umaru Yar'Adua has said that he wants to eliminate the threat they pose before the town can grow.
  • The unrest in northern Nigeria broke out after security forces arrested some men linked to Boko Haram sect in Bauchi state.
  • Boko Haram opposes western education in Nigeria and views Abuja's government as 'corrupted by Western ideas'. The group is calling for a new leader in Nigeria ready to implement sharia law across the most populous African country.
  • The Nigerian extremists emerged in 2002 in Maiduguri. They set up a camp dubbed 'Afghanistan' in 2004 at Kanamma village of Yobe on the border with Niger.
