Nigeria on Monday moved its military control center to the city of Maiduguri, the heartland of Boko Haram's insurgency and capital of the northeastern state of Borno, to engage in the routing of the terror group in the West African country.
The Nigerian House of Representatives on Thursday rejected the request by President Goodluck Jonathan to further extend the emergency rule in the three northeastern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe.
