It is estimated that over two million Nigerians have been displaced by Boko Haram's ongoing campaign of violence in the north-east of the country. Nigeria defence's spokesperson Rabe Abubakar was not immediately available for comment. The Nigerian government has deployed troops to several areas where there are reports of attacks on civilians and security forces. Yesterday Nigeria's military authorities reiterated the risks, stating that it had recently arrested "dozens" of people linked to Boko Haram, inferring that the level of infiltration of the terrorists in Abuja and other major cities was far higher than previously thought.
