Boko Haram is waging an insurgency against President Goodluck Jonathan's government with the avowed aim of reviving an ancient Islamic kingdom in majority Muslim northern Nigeria. Styled on the Afghan Taliban, the sect's purported leader Abubakar Shekau has said he wants to impose Sharia law on the country of 160 million people, around half of whom are Christian and the other half Muslim. His movement has become the number one security threat to Africa's top energy producer. Lieutenant Eli Lazarus, a spokesman for joint military and police forces in northeastern Yobe state, said in a statement that they had conducted cordon and search operations at a suspected Boko Haram hideout in Damaturu on Sunday and "engaged in a gun battle with the suspected terrorists." "About thirty suspected Boko Haram terrorists were killed in the battle which lasted several hours ... The notorious one-eyed Bakaka, the field commander of Boko Haram in Damaturu and a close associate of Abubakar Shekau was killed," he said. Ten others were arrested and "are presently assisting investigators to track other senior members of the terrorist group," he added. Three homemade bombs, six assault rifles and 90 rounds of ammunition and several knives were seized, he said. There was no immediate comment from Boko Haram. The sect's fighters have killed more than 1,000 people in bomb or gun attacks since they intensified their struggle in 2010, rights groups say. A military crackdown on the Islamists in the north appears to have weakened them, leaving them less capable of carrying out large-scale, sophisticated attacks like the one that killed 186 people in Kano in January. But they remain a deadly force. Gunmen shot dead a Chinese national working for the China Geo-Engineering Corporation, the firm's Nigeria personnel manager Albert Audu told Reuters on Monday. Cheng Jingli was shot dead on Sunday at a market in Gubio, northeastern Borno state, Audu said, but he added that police did not know if it was Boko Haram or robbers. On Monday, a bomb targeting security forces in the northeastern city of Maiduguri, at the heart of the insurgency, wounded two soldiers, Borno state security spokesman Sagir Musa said. The crackdown has pushed the sect into new areas away from the northeast, widening its geographical spread. Two explosions in eastern Nigeria's normally quiet Taraba state on Thursday and Friday wounded around two dozen people and killed one. Boko Haram usually targets the security forces or government offices, although churches and bars are also often hit. The United States has labeled Shekau and two other senior members 'terrorists' and put them on its sanctions list.
