Murders and attempted murders

This latest massacre underscores the urgent moral imperative to neutralize Boko Haram immediately. Every delayed action emboldens these terrorists who butcher innocents with impunity, turning farming communities into killing fields.

More than $15 billion of Nigerian procurement funds are missing at the hands of military officers — money desperately needed to combat Boko Haram.

The stolen funds have severely compromised Nigeria's military capacity, fuelling attacks like the most recent one.
