There
are different Islamic sects in Nigeria among which are Derika, Izala, Kaula,
the Muslim brothers, Tijjaniya, Quaddiriya, Shiite and several other splinter
groups. Once in a while, there are skirmishes among some of these sects.
However, sectarian activities that threatened the corporate existense of the
Nigerian state and rejected political authority have been less common. The
Maitatsine riots of December 1980 and Boko Haram riots of July 2009 are among those.
Activities of both sects culminated in with violent demonstrations that led to
the death of thousands of people.
