Boko Haram, an Islamist militant group, has plagued northern Nigeria for the past eight years.
The group—whose name means “Western education is forbidden” —has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions of people since launching its bloody battle to establish a hardline Islamic caliphate in the country. It regularly sends suicide bombers to attack soft targets, including marketplaces and mosques, causing destruction and killing civilians.
