    The Boko Haram Insurgency emerged from a radical Islamists youth movement in Maiduguri in the 1990s whose leader was Mohammed Yusuf (the movement is sometimes refer to as Yusufiya Movement) Walker (2012). The insurgents’ attacks between 2012 and 2014 grossly undermined general security across the north-eastern region of the country particularly Bomo, Yobe and Adamawa States (International Crisis Group, 2014). Armed violence characterized by daily killings, bombings, kidnappings, destructions of private and public properties constituted some of the major socioeconomic and security challenges that bedeviled Bomo, Yobe and Adamawa States from 2009 up to 2014 which resulted in an impromptu and exodus movement of people out of their ancestral homes and the worst affected included the destitute, aged, women and children (Mustapha and Umara, 2015)
