Abstract
The prevalence of religious sacrilege is attributed to a
lack of comprehension regarding the inherent separation
between religion and government. This study explores
the intricate relationship between the religious influence
of Boko Haram, a notorious extremist group in Nigeria.
This study examined the influence of Boko-Haram and
governance in the management of internally displaced
persons in the Northeast region, specifically Borno and
Yobe in Nigeria. Methodologically, content and narrative
analysis are used to analyse the study objective. Conflict
Management theory is adopted for the underpinning of
the study. The findings suggest that religious individuals
and groups have disrupted the established societal roles
and norms of citizens, thereby undermining the legitimacy
of constitutional principles. Hence, the study concludes
that religious actors and followers have desecrated
constitutional legitimacy, consequently affecting
citizens. Therefore, governance has been confronted
with administrative fiasco in its handling of the affected
citizens in the study area.
