Maiduguri, the birthplace of Boko Haram, presents a surprising sense of tranquility as it has not experienced a major attack since early 2021. Despite this, Borno's governor, Babagana Zulum, warns of Boko Haram's resurgence, with reports of increased attacks and kidnappings occurring daily. The long history of the insurgency since 2002, which peaked with numerous bombings and the notorious Chibok school kidnapping, indicates that even without recent attacks, the threat from Boko Haram remains significant and evolving, raising concerns about security in the region.
The relative tranquility in Maiduguri comes as a surprise, given the intense history of Boko Haram's insurgency that peaked with regular bombings and mass abductions.
Governor Babagana Zulum is concerned about Boko Haram's resurgence, indicating that renewed attacks and kidnappings are occurring almost daily without confrontation from authorities.
