The International Criminal Court (ICC) has commenced preliminary examination to ascertain the efforts of the Nigerian government in tackling the Boko Haram insurgency in the north east.

Addressing State House correspondents at a security seminar in Abuja on Monday, the Chief Prosecutor for the International Criminal Court, Mrs Fatou Bensouda, said the organisation had been observing various areas, but stressed that recent Boko Haram incidents were a concern for the court.
“The ICC is yet to reach a stage it will consider an investigation and prosecution of the culprits in the crisis,” Mrs Bensouda said.
Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for several killings and bombings in the region that started in 2009.
The government had deployed military personnel to the region but the governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, said that the military efforts were not enough to quell the insurgency.
A security consultant, Capt. Umar Aliyu (Rtd), has said that the government lacks the political will to fight the Boko Haram.
“The military has the capacity to tackle the insurgents but someone is showing lack of will to give them the matching order to end the insurgency,”he said.

"I don’t like to put my personal business out there. I have known Uti for a while and he was in my only video.
