Boko Haram begins Recruitment in Niger

Boko Haram may have extended its tentacles to neighbouring Niger Republic where some of its leaders have embarked on a recruitment drive, a report by the BBC has indicated.

The report came just as preparations have entered top gear for a meeting of the National Security Council tomorrow in Abuja, which will be presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan, the 36 state governors and service chiefs, among others.

The insurgency in the North-east, being waged by the terrorist group, is expected to top the agenda at tomorrow's meeting.
Last week, the meeting had been rescheduled for today, but was postponed for the second time to take place tomorrow.

Saudi Arabia to build world's tallest Tower

 
DUBAI, long champion of all things biggest, longest and most expensive, will soon have some competition from neighboring Saudi Arabia.
