Over the past years, Northern Islamist terrorist sect Boko Haram has being disturbing peace of nigeria citizens, kidnapping, killing innocent people and recent abducted of Chibok girls. Many Nigerians has being asking question about how this sect used internet in forest they are.
In a number of probing tweets, people wondered how the sect members, allegedly operating from the remote corners of Sambisa forest, are able to use mobile communications technology.
Of particular interest is are the long videos of Abubakar Shekau, the sect’s leader, which are posted online now and then. Who Is Boko Haram’s Internet Service Provider ?

I can’t update common apps due to poor network quality but Shekau is in Sambisa Forest with enough bandwith to upload an hour video. SMH

What internet connection (provider) does this Shekau guy use to upload his videos? can’t the IP address be traced? — Yemi David (@crownyemi) May 12, 2014
Shekau’a internet must be pretty fast. He is likely to be connected to a satellite. Can the world treat this as serious as MH370?”

As a layman, I have often wondered how the terrorists communicate with such ease and nothing can be done to use that as an avenue to trap them.
Well, if anyone finds Boko Haram’s service provider, give us a shout out.
