Nigeria Boko-Haram is not just one local terrorist that accumulate themselves and give themselves name, they have proved themselves international. Recently, Nigerian court in the Federal capital of Abuja on Thursday accused two men of having links with Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and of receiving funds from the militant group, court papers said.

 Olaniyi Babafemi Lawal, 31, and Luqman Babatunde, 30, were also accused of planning to use the money “to recruit and transport prospective members of a terrorist group to Yemen”.
