BOKO HARAM CRISIS IN NIGERIA: PERPETUAL VIOLENCE, CONFLICT, AND HUMANITARIAN DISPLACEMENT

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how the Terrorist Group has influenced humanitarian crises in Northern Nigeria, especially in the states of Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa. It also shows how Boko Haram’s increased operations keep on going to have disastrous emergency relief repercussions for the Northeast region, Nigerian society, and surrounding countries. When variables like Impact on Human Causalities (IHC), Food Insecurity (FI), and Displaced People Persons (IDPs) were held constant, the results revealed a significant collaboration between the Boko Haram insurgency and human tragedy. However, no such relationship was observed when specifications such as property loss (PL) and Government Response (GR) were assumed to be constant. To confront the risk faced by foreign crises and the Boko Haram insurgency in the province, the paper urges the Nigerian government to set priorities for lessening human casualties, loss of self-sufficiency, vulnerability, and reconciling internally displaced persons into society.
