Boko Haram Islamic insurgency began in 2009 when the jihadist group started an armed rebellion against the Nigerian government. Since 2011, Boko Haram Islamic insurgency has resulted in about 37,500 deaths making it the most deadly extremist group according to the Global Terrorism Index. Attacks and casualties have been rising and in 2019 alone, insurgents caused at least 750 security force casualties. Literature suggests that the original Boko Haram Islamic insurgent group has split into different factions and at least two factions of the terrorist group have been identified.
