Abstract
This study examines Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East of Nigeria, with a perspective focus on how the sect emerges and the unprecedented onslaughts the group has unleashed on the population and the government of Nigeria. It also discusses the strategies and dynamics including the methodology their war farers adopted to carry out attacks on the public. The study uses theories to debate the sect’s emergence and politics most especially as it bothers on Nigeria’s configurations. It proffers solutions to addressing the menace against collapse of national security and the corporate existence of Nigeria as one nation in unity in diversity. The significance of the study is primarily to explain the emergence of terrorism in Nigeria brought by the Boko Haram sect. This necessitated the descriptive historical analysis made for this justification.
