Boko Haram have more checkpoints in the North-East now – UN

The United Nations has raised concerns over the growing number of checkpoints being operated by Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria's North-East region.

Expressing his concerns, Mr. Kallon emphasized the alarming rise in insecure working environments for humanitarian efforts, attributing the trend to the proliferation of vehicular checkpoints set up by non-state armed groups along main supply routes in Borno and Yobe states.
