<p>Five British nationals have reported their involvement in incidents caused by Boko
Haram. However, we believe that more than 4,000 people were killed last year by Boko
Haram, primarily in north-east Nigeria, but also in terrorist attacks throughout the
country. The United Nations estimates that more than 1.5 million people have been
displaced by Boko Haram’s terrorist activities.</p><p>As reflected in Travel Advice,
terrorist groups in Nigeria, including Boko Haram, continue to pose a significant
threat to British nationals and British interests in parts of the country. We believe
that the terrorist group Ansaru are responsible for the murder of at least nine foreign
hostages, including two British nationals in separate incidents in Nigeria in 2012
and in 2013. The UK has made clear our commitment to standing by Nigeria in its fight
against terrorism.</p>
