Are
you traveling to Nigeria anytime soon?
Think again because there have been recent terrorist attacks which left people
shocked and fearful. Most of the terrorist attacks take place in the Northern region.
The terrorists usually target public places where a huge number of foreign
tourists is gathered. Tourists are afraid to go to shopping arcades, public
buildings, crowded places and transport terminals because there is a fear that
a bomb will be hidden somewhere.

The Terror Years
Over
the past few years, the tourists and residents have witnessed many terrorist
attacks. In December 2016, two suicide bombers attacked Madagali at Borno
State. 57 people were killed, and many
were left injured.
In January 2016, Boko Haram attacked Dalori Village. The
attack killed 86 people and left almost 100 people injured. In June 2014, an
explosion in Apapa area killed five people. In August 2011, Boko Haram attacked
the United Nations building in which 23 people got
killed. What was the fault of the innocent people? The religious
groups in Nigeria possess a lot of anger inside them. The method of
attacks includes suicide bombings, fire bombings,
and armed assaults.
The Trouble of Terrorist Kidnap
There was news that Boko Haram and Ansaru have plans to
kidnap tourists. The areas where terrorist activities are present are
north-east Nigeria and north region. If you are planning to travel to Nigeria,
you should be watchful of not going to areas of Boko Haram’s occupancy.
If you
are wondering what Boko Haram is, you will not be pleased to read about them.
It is an Islamic extremist group which carries out terrorist activities. The
group refers to themselves as, ‘Group of the people of Sunnah.’ They are strict
followers of the Islamic religion.
The presence is strong in
Northeast Nigeria, and so, you must avoid
this area because there have been a lot of terror attacks. The group has been
ranked as the world’s deadliest terror group. There is a state of religious crisis in Nigeria and coming
in contact with Boko Haram is like inviting death.
This is a religious group
which advocates a strict form of Sharia
law. The Ansaru Group is also a terror group based in Northern Nigeria. They
emerged in the year 2002, and they are
known for killing hostages. These hostages are mainly Europeans.
Terrorism Prevention Act
There
are different methods of execution in Nigeria such as –
- · Stoning
- · Hanging
- · Shooting
- · Comments
What
is considered terrorism in Nigeria? When a person knowingly does, threatens or
attempts to kill another person or assists someone, who performs acts of terrorism.
Anybody who harms the country in any way whether it is the government
properties or kidnapping people, it comes under terrorism.
'
The Nigeria religion is considered to be
strict and orthodox. The two terror groups have made it difficult for the
tourists and residents to live in peace. There is still a crisis
in Nigeria which makes it a very unsafe place to travel to. In the year 2013, the Senate gave a green
signal for death penalty for terrorists.
What about law enforcement?
In
the month of June, terrorist attacks took place in Chibok which killed nearly
21 persons. The location is secluded and inside a bush. The Boko Haram members
started firing at people in the village,
and now, nothing is left. Boko Haram basically
means western education is forbidden. The group is a serious threat to the society,
and the Government has not been able to save ten thousand innocent people, who
were killed. Nigeria politics has
failed the residents of its nation.
The residents constantly live in fear, and the country
has lost the scope of improving the tourism sector. The government has failed
to protect its people. There are acts but are they doing any good to the
nation? What about law enforcement? What about the lives of people, who got
killed without any reason? Nobody has the answer. Boko Haram terror shall
remain.
