Major internal insecurity Nigerian Army is fighting

The Nigerian army has been at the forefront of the major internal security threats facing Nigeria for decades. Boko Haram, a terrorist group, has been ravaging the northeast part of Nigeria for the past 15 years. The country has suffered human and economic losses in the region due to the terrorists’ activities.

In the northwest and north-central, the Nigerian army has been facing the menace of banditry and kidnapping. Kidnapping was also said to be becoming a business in the southwest part of Nigeria, while successionists are growing in the southeast.

Recently, the military authority has claimed more success in its operation across the country. Several bandit leaders have been gunned down, and terrorists have been pushed to the extreme villages.
