Believed within security circles to be a splinter group of Boko Haram, the sect claimed its biggest attack yet when it assumed responsibility for the daring pre-dawn attack on SARS headquarters in Abuja.
If Nigerians thought that was a one-off strike, they would be proved wrong again as the sect has claimed responsibility for the attack in Okehi, Kogi state, on a convoy of the Nigerian Army that was transporting troops for onward deployment to terrorists ravaged Mali killing two soldiers and injuring an unspecified number.
