UK holds confab on Nigeria Boko Haram

Britain is hosting a gathering on the security situation in northeastern Nigeria and how to tackle the Takfiri militant group, Boko Haram.

Since the Takfiri group kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls in April, a number of world nations have offered help to the Nigeria government to deal with the militant group.

This is while press reports indicate that attacks by the armed group have been on the rise since the mass abductions.

Nigeria’s Foreign Minister Aminu Wali will be attending the high-level gathering organized by his British counterpart William Hague.

The development follows last month’s summit in Paris where regional powers pledged to share intelligence and coordinate efforts against the group and its five-year insurgency.

The London confab on Boko Haram focuses on condemning the group’s brutalities as the Takfiris killed at least 3,300 people this year alone.

The meeting will take place on the sidelines of a London summit.

Representatives from the US, the European Union, Canada and Nigeria’s neighbors Benin, Chad, Cameroon and Niger will also be present at the meeting.
