More than two million have been displaced during the conflict with Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province. In reality, Hajj Camp in Borno State is a centre for processing tens of thousands of jihadists, their families and those who lived under their control. Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau died after rivals Iswap invaded his hideout, demanding he pledge allegiance. More than 90 000 people formerly associated with Boko Haram and, to a much lesser extent, Iswap defected. She said Boko Haram “only preach and kill those who use drugs”.
