On June 5, Nigerian troops shot and killed 16 members of the militant group in the northeastern city of Maiduguri, Boko Haram’s stronghold.
On May 11, Nigerian security forces arrested Suleiman Mohammed, Boko Haram’s head of operations in Kano, along with his wife and five children, during a raid on his house in the northern city.
The extremist group has claimed responsibility for a number of deadly gun and bomb attacks in various parts of Nigeria since 2009.
Human rights groups report that violent actions by Boko Haram since mid-2009 have claimed more than 1,000 lives, including over 300 this year alone.
