[PUNCHNG] A security analyst and senior fellow of the Extremism Policy Unit at Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, Bulama Bukarti, on Sunday, warned that the activities of the dreaded terrorist group, Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality..., have started gaining ground on major social media platforms like TikTok. Bukarti spoke when he was featured as a guest on Channels Television's Politics Today. The revelation comes barely one week after the senator for Borno South District, Ali Ndume, lamented that Borno State lost 100 soldiers and 280 civilians to the onslaught carried out by Boko Haram bully boyz in six months. But Bukarti, who has researched the bully boy group for many years, raised a fresh alarm that the bully boyz are now propagating their ideology on social media amid video clips and live streaming.
