Abstract

The following article intends to examine the role Boko Haram has been playing over the years. Based on the analysis of the news randomly taking from the Nigerian media, it seeks to offer suggestions on how the media and other Nigerian development agents can contribute to an end of the attacks carried out by this group. Subsequently, it is expected to show that the media, in conjunction with other Nigerian development agents, can be used to identify the criminal activities of Boko Haram insurgents in the area, and also used to study the modus vivendi and modus operandi of this group.
