Security expert Bulama Bukarti has raised alarm over Boko Haram’s growing use of technology, revealing that the terror group is now active on TikTok and deploying drones in northeastern Nigeria. Speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today, Bukarti explained how the insurgents are using social media for propaganda and advanced equipment to monitor military activities.
He detailed that Boko Haram members regularly conduct live broadcasts on TikTok in the Hausa language, spreading extremist ideology and justifying violent attacks. These broadcasts aim to recruit followers and build sympathies among local populations.
More alarmingly, the group now operates unmanned drones for surveillance of Nigerian military camps. Bukarti linked these tech advancements to several deadly attacks in the past three months, including in Sabon Gari, where military personnel were killed, weapons looted, and bases overrun.
This revelation comes just days after Senator Ali Ndume reported significant military and civilian losses in the region, highlighting the increasing capabilities of Boko Haram on both digital and battlefield fronts.
