(International Christian Concern) Boko Haram continues to plague Northern Nigeria and the Lake Chad region with attacks, extremism and devastating violence. This hateful group has been operating out of Borno, Nigeria, since 2002 when its founder, Mohammad Yusuf, started preaching about the evils of the West. In 2009, the group turned fully against the Nigerian government and started carrying out these violent acts. This includes hundreds of murders, abductions, bombings and destruction of villages.
