Strategic Intelligence: How Nigeria’s Porous Borders, Proliferation of Arms Fuel Boko Haram Insurgency, Militancy
Preamble: Few
days ago, Colonel Al-Amin Abubakar Garba who is the Commander, Division
Intelligence Command (DIC) of the Nigerian Army 1st Division, Kaduna,
stated the obvious that, ’’porous
borders and weak security system are routes through which
Boko Haram and other criminal groups source arms. In his words, ‘’the porous
Nigeria’s frontiers make it difficult to track movement of illegal arms and
immigrants, hence the proliferation of weapons among criminal groups’’. Also speaking on the sporadic attacks attributed to herdsmen,
the erstwhile Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon
Arase opined that most of the herdsmen that allegedly attack locals were
foreigners who gained entrance into Nigeria due to border porosity. There’s
no gainsaying the fact that persistent human
trafficking and influx of illegal immigrants, weapons and ammunitions,
Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and their raw materials through Nigeria’s ubiquitous
porous borders and their far-reaching socio-economic and national security
implications. That Boko Haram militants abducted and have in their
custody, a chunk of the over 276 Chibok
school girls it seized over two years ago, underscores lax security and
porosity of Nigeria’s extensive borders.
