The terrorization of the Northern region by the Boko-Haram sect since 2009 have created fear in Nigeria and has brought about restlessness and insecurity in the country. The study examines the growth of this sect, efforts that has been made in addressing the challenges brought about by their nefarious activities but more importantly the implication on regional peace and security.
The study is descriptive and the data obtained were both primary but mostly secondary sources.
It was found that the implications of the Book Haram's activities on the regional peace and security touches every aspect of Nigeria's social, political and economic system.
In the light of the above findings, the study concludes that the Nigerian nation needs to stand to take a cogent action in order to eradicate the Book Haram menace.
