ABSTRACT One of the most interesting issues in contemporary Africa studies is the phenomenon of Boko Haram. Pictured as a terrorist group that attacks on behalf of Islam in Northern Nigeria. Little known to the news, this group of terrorist started as a social movement that voiced out social injustice in Northern Nigeria. Over two decades, a group of preaching and teaching of Islam has evolved to a sect that waged audacious attacks on military and civilian targets. Shifting its name from Ahlulsunna wal’jama’ah hijra to Jamiatul Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati Wal-Jihad, and known today as Boko Haram. Emerging in national and international news as a terrorist group, Boko Haram has caused more than 800 acts of violence from 2009 until today. Although the Nigerian Government had implemented counter-terrorism attack, as well as peace talk in between two sides, Boko Haram is still indifferent. This article examines the changing phases of Nigeria’s Boko Haram sect, with particular attention to their repertoire of contention that turns the Islamic activities into acts of violence.
