Boko Haram Heads South, More Security Experts Warn Clement Ejiofor

Reuters Chief Correspondent on Nigeria, Tim Cocks, analyzes current tendencies in Boko Haram’s activities and tries to predict future movements of the Nigerian terrorist group.
In his article In Nigeria, Boko Haram-style violence radiates southwards, the author notes how, until the often deadly and devastating attacks affected mostly the northeastern region of Nigeria, residents of the "more prosperous south" reacted with just "a shrug of the shoulders".
However, the feeling of relative security is quickly fading, replaced by anxiety, as Boko Haram and other violent groups inspired by it "are radiating attacks from their northeastern heartlands" across Nigeria, Reuters correspondent says.
A pattern can be identified in the growing number of attacks allegedly committed by Boko Haram, while the sect periodically claims responsibility for some of them via videos, the information cannot be verified at times.
