Tackling Boko Haram insurgency through intelligent reporting system

Abstract

Insurgency has bedeviled our national economy and human peaceful existence in Nigeria. Boko Haram insurgency can be rated as the most deadly terrorist in the history of Nigeria. Federal government of Nigeria has employed series of strategies and has invested many resources to curb this insurgency to no avail. The inability of the armed forces to curb the insurgency may be attributed to lack intelligent reporting system that will enhance their performances. This paper therefore focuses on providing an effective way of producing intelligent report. This is achieved by designing an internet based mobile application that runon Android platform which makes it easier to report cases of insurgency in Nigeria through chat room with the option of uploading concrete evidence such as images or video. Various methods such as observation, interview and different kind of literatures were used for data collection. A mobile system for reporting any cases of insurgency is the result of the research.
