Boko Haram: Nigeria's nightmare
2012-02-10
Long, pretty detailed backgrounder on Boko Haram, which will make you want to take a shower.

IN SUMMARY

Figure out this one: Kabir Sokoto, the criminal mastermind of Nigeria's Christmas day bombing in which 200 people died, was placed in long-term storage while taking refuge in an Abuja luxury lodge owned by the Borno State governor to where he had been chaperoned by a top Moslem military officer.

About 24 hours later, Sokoto beat feet from police custody. The intrigue became too much for grieving citizens to bear when it was revealed that Sokoto had beat feet while in the care of Zakari Biu, a notorious figure from the dark days of the military dictatorship of General Sani Abacha

Unfortunately, that seems to be a bit of bad programming by the newspaper website, Eric. Google the title "Boko Haram: Nigeria's Nightmare". The link Google provides will work.
