Nigeria Undercover

What is it like to live with the threat of Boko Haram and the Nigerian military? Yalda Hakim goes undercover in Maiduguri to hear from residents living with the insurgency.

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.
