"BOKO HARAM:AN INSTRUMENT OF TERROR AND GENOCIDE IN NORTHERN NIGERIA"

"THE TERRORIST GROUP IN NIGERIA THAT IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE BOKO HARAM IS DIRECTLY COMMITTING AN ACT OF GENOCIDE AGAINST THE NORTHERN NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS":"The Oxford English Dictionary defines genocide as "the deliberate and systematic extermination of an ethnic or national group ...". The UN general assembly defined genocide it in 1946 as "... a denial of the right of existence of entire human gro
ups".

These are some of the violent terrorist incidents that were linked directly to Boko Haram in the Northern Nigeria against the Northern Nigerian Christians according to the data that is coming from the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and was released officially in July 2012.

"This is borne out by quantitative data. Out of the 137 religious-motivated violent incidents we tracked, 88.3% were attacks on Christians, 2.9% were attacks on Muslims, attacks on security agents 4.4%, sectarian clashes 2.2% and extra-judicial killings were 2.1%. The US Terrorism report 2011 indicates a total of 136 terrorist attacks in Nigeria. It is inconceivable therefore that Muslims were the primary victims of a jihadist group whose intent is to Islamize Nigeria. This year 2012 alone, there have been 49 security incidences of which 80% have targeted Christians" - CAN.
