Boko Haram has supporters in government, military and security forces

The President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, has warned that the threat posed by Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram may be more serious than initially thought because it has supporters both within the government - in every branch - and within the military.
President Jonathan warned:

Some continue to dip their hands and eat with you and you won’t even know the person who will point a gun at you or plant a bomb behind your house.

Speaking with Agenzie Fides, he warned that the present situation is worse than that of the civil war that lasted from 1967-1970:

 During the Civil War, we knew and could even know on which side the enemy came from... but the challenge we face today is more complicated.

Following an order from Boko Haram for Christians to leave the north of Nigeria, His Excellency the Most Reverend Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, Archbishop of Jos, does told Agenzia Fides he does not think Christians in the north are fleeing at the moment, but he does have fears for the future:

"At the moment I do not think there is a massive movement of Christians from the north, except in areas where several people were killed, in which the frequency of violence was very intense," said Bishop Kaigama. "In these areas the Christians, especially those from the south, as the Ibo people, are deeply anxious and are preparing to return to their home areas".

Archbishop Kaigama is also worried because even the Muslims who live in the south are affected by the climate of violence. "I have just returned from a visit in southern Nigeria. Even there, the Muslims, who are from the north, are deeply concerned and are preparing to return to the north". "It is, in my opinion, a very dangerous development."

Update:

Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram, warned President Jonathan that the present state of affairs is "beyond your powers" in a video posted on YouTube.
