Terrorist Group, Boko Haram, has operated largely in Nigeria’s North-East region, but has overtime made in-roads into states in the North-Central and North-West regions of Nigeria, including the Nation’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.


The group has continued to cause havoc in these regions, mostly the North-East, with its activities that has killed many innocent people, made families homeless, kidnapping of young boys and girls, caused locals to flee their villages and even scare some people from going to religious centers.

Boko Haram who recently opened a twitter account, according to villagers in Borno state, kill males aged between 15 and 45, while girls that attained the age of puberty are forcefully taken away.

Although, the Nigerian military has reportedly deployed another set of sophisticated arms to fight Boko Haram in the North-East, the military has been overwhelmed in most of its confrontations with the militant group.

Recently, pictures of teenage boys alleged to be new recruits of Boko Haram surfaced online, even as the terrorist group last weekend, freed 200 kidnapped captives, who returned to their community in Yobe state.

Washingtonpost.com German photojournalist, Andy Spyra has spent over three years in remote villages in northern Nigeria, documenting the attacks in the region through his camera lens, mostly in Sokoto, Jos, Mahalla and several villages south of Maiduguri.
