Boko-Haram is a local militia insurgent group hence; their activities have grown to be recognized as a TERRORIST GROUP. Boko Haram has its origin in the activities of their late leader “Yusuf”, a secondary school drop-out who later went to Chad and Niger Republic to study Quran. While in these two countries, he developed radical views against westernization and
modernization just like the Maitatsine. Back here in Nigeria after his study, Yusuf established in 2001 what is today known as Boko Haram (N D Danjibo 2009). According to the Da’wah coordination council of Nigeria (DCCN) 2009, they described the group Boko Haram as “Ahl as-sunnah wa al-jama’a la minhaj as-salaf”, which means “people of the way of the prophet Muhammad and the community of Muslims, in line with the earliest generation of Muslims”. According to them (DCCN), this name has a positive meaning that is acceptable by all Muslims. Boko-Haram has its origin in media and public coinage.
