The Nigerian Islamic terror group Boko Haram and Fulani jihadists belonging to a mainly Muslim ethnic group of Nigerian cattle herders, have expanded their territory in Nigeria in recent months with increased attacks outside of their usual strongholds, local media reported Monday.
“[I]n the latest revelations by state governments, there is an indication that the [Boko Haram] terrorists now operate in other states apart from the troubled North-east,” Nigeria’s
Premium Times reported May 17.
“Most of these states such as Nasarawa, Benue and Niger do not share boundaries with the North-east states,” the newspaper noted. Niger state borders Nigeria’s centrally located national capital, Abuja, to the west, while Nasarawa borders Abuja to the east. Benue state is located 120 miles southeast of Abuja.
