The leader of takfiri Boko Haram has proclaimed an Islamic caliphate in the north eastern Nigerian town of Gwoza, which was seized by the Boko Haram terrorists earlier this month.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The United Nations humanitarian office confirmed reports earlier this month that Gwoza was under Boko Harem takfiri group’s control.<\/p>\n
Boko Haram is also believed to be in control of other areas of north eastern Nigeria including the southern part of Borno state as well as much of the territory of northern Borno and one town in neighbouring Yobe state.<\/p>\n

Boko Haram takfiri group, whose name can be translated as \u201cWestern education is forbidden,\u201d is responsible for more than 10,000 deaths since 2009 in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
