Nigeria Undercover

Assignment

Available for over a year

It is nearly three months since more than 200 schoolgirls were taken from their school in Chibok in northern Nigeria by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram. Since then, further abductions have been reported. So what is it like to live with the insurgency? Yalda Hakim reports using material gathered undercover from the city of Maiduguri, where residents feel caught between the unpredictable Islamist militant group and the Nigerian military, which is also accused of abuses. Produced by Linda Pressly Picture: A Nigerian teacher holds a sign reading 'Our girls must go to school' in a protest rally against the killing of 173 of their colleagues by the Islamist Boko Haram, Credit: AFP/Getty Images
