Yartas, who took part in the pre-election campaign of President Bola Tinubu, stated that the escalation of the conflict in northern Nigeria leads to mass migration of the population.

The militants of "Boko Harami" and "Prohibited Organization for the Islamic State" have become more active in the north of the country. They attack military facilities, kidnapping citizens and carry out terrorist acts.
"Boko Haram" is active in Nigeria and neighboring countries since 2009. In 2015, the group lost to the Nigerian army, after which some of its structures joined ISIS, "Islamic State in West Africa".
