THE IMPACT
OF BOKO HARAM INSURGENCY ON NIGERIAN NATIONAL SECURITY
ABSTRACT
Jama'atul
Ahlus Sunnah Lid daawati wal Jihad popularly known as Boko Haram, which means
western education is forbidden emerged around 2002 as a local Islamic movement
mainly for preaching and charity to people in Maiduguri Borno State. The
activities of the group changed in 2009 after the Nigerian government crackdown
on its followers as a result of which spiritual and political leader Muhammad
Yusuf was killed. From 2009 to 2015 Boko Haram insurgency claimed the lives of
more than 13,000 people. The group has intensified its attacks on security
agents and their formations, top governmental establishments, schools, Mosques,
and the general populace. The group kidnapped 250 schoolgirls in Chibok in
April 2014. The threat posed by the group is undermining the existence of
Nigeria as one sovereign political territory. In August 2014, the sect leader
declared areas under their control as new Islamic Caliphate which would be
governed according to strict Islamic laws. The objective of this study is to
examine the threats of Boko Haram insurgency on Nigerian national security. The
study also revealed that poverty and misconception of religion were the major
factors that facilitated the emergence and development of Boko Haram. The
researchers recommend that Nigerian Government should address the root and
symptom of the problem by eradicating poverty, providing employment to the
people and enhancing security efforts.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
According to
Murtada (2013), the real name of Boko Haram was Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lid
da'awati Wal-Jihad, (congregation of the People of Tradition for Proselytism
and Jihad). The word Boko Haram means western education is forbidden. The group
emerged in early 2000s as small Sunni Islamic group advocating a strict
interpretation and implementation of Islamic law in Nigeria. Initially, the
sect's leadership did not call for violence; its followers engaged in periodic
clashes with security during its formative years (Blanchard, 2014). There is a
growing suspicion among Nigerians about the real identity and motive of Boko
Haram sect. Most Muslims see it as an extension of Maitatsine sect which was
established in 1945 to transport turmoil to Islam as it was confirmed that
Maitatsine was not a Muslim until his death, while a reasonable number of
Christians see it as an attempt to Islamize Nigerians while some are
indifferent (Shehu, 2014). In 2009, the activities of Boko Haram had
transformed from a local peace militia into a violent group, after the
government attacked the members of the group in some major cities of northern
Nigeria, which led to five days violent clashes between the group members and
the Nigerian forces and resulted in killing the sect leader, Muhammad Yusuf in
Maiduguri, and more than 700 other people (Blanchard, 2014).
After the
2009 uprising, the activities of the sect was slow. The violence re-
emergence of
the group in 2010 came up with a new tactics that include suicide bombing,
kidnapping, attacking Islamic clerics, Mosques and churches in the country.
Nigeria witnessed the first suicide bombings in police headquarters and United
Nation's office in Abuja (Blanchard, 2014). The activities of the sect
escalated when on 14th April, 2014 the sect kidnapped 250 female students from
Government Girl's Secondary school Chibok in Borno State (Zenn, 2014). Also,
Boko Haram and Ansaru were designated as Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO)
by the United State Security Department in November 2013. Ansaru was the Boko
Haram faction that earlier in 2013 kidnapped and executed seven foreigners who
were working with international construction companies. Subsequently, the
United Nations Committee on Al Qaeda sanction blacklisted the group on 22nd
May, 2014 as one of the world terrorist organisations. The United Nation
listing entry describes Boko Haram as an affiliate of Al-Qaeda and also one of
the organisations of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) (Reuters, 2014).
Therefore, this study aims to examine the threat of Boko Haram insurgency on
Nigerian National Security system.
