According to the United Nations, approximately 35,000 civilians have been murdered, and more than 2 million have been displaced in the northeastern region. The 2014 kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls by Boko Haram in Chibok, Borno state, the epicentre of the insurgency, drew international attention to the problem.
