The dreaded
Nigerian sect Boko Haram has been ranked the seventh wealthiest terrorist
organization in the world. It has been
made known by the Nigerian Tribune with reference to the edition The Richest,
which says that the amount of money made by the insurgents within the period
2006-2011 by means of receiving ransoms for the kidnapped people, totals $70
million.

financial benefit received from looted weapons and bank robberies corresponding

ill-gotten empire.

being one of the most feared and deadliest terrorist groups in the world, was
ranked 4th, with annual $100million.
