Attacks by Islamist group Boko Haram have spread from Borno state to major cities in the Middle Belt and north states, including Bauchi, Kano and Kaduna. Attacks over the past 18 months, including the January 2012 co-ordinated IED attacks in Kano that killed more than 180 people, also showed a significant increase in the group’s capability.
