The Nigerian military with assistance from Benin, Cameroon, Chad and Niger has sent out Boko Haram out of several provinces in Northeastern Nigeria.
Although, the insurgent group still launches its suicidal attacks and abduct indigenes especially women and children in some villages and pockets of territory.
After a peak in Boko Haram related violence in 2014, and 2015, the numbers of casualties linked to the group has diminished dramatically. The ongoing battle with the insurgent groups is continually threatening the stability and political integrity of Africa.
