Nansok Sallah height - How tall is Nansok Sallah?

Nansok Sallah (1966?- 19 January 2012) is a journalist who was killed in Nigeria preceding a major attack by the Boko Haram terrorist group.

At the beginning of the year, the group warned Christians to leave the north. That call was timed with a major attack by Boko Haram on 7 January 2012. From the beginning of the year until Sallah's and Akogwu's murders, Boko Haram has said it had caused 253 deaths, according to Human Rights Watch.

Other journalists have been attacked or killed in Nigeria as part of the Muslim and Christian conflict. Enenche Akogwu was the most recent journalist to die as a result of a Boko Haram attack. The Boko Haram claimed responsibility in the case of Zakariya Isa after he was killed in Maiduguri, 22 October 2011. In Jos, two reporters for a Christian newspaper, Sunday Gyang Bwede and Nathan S. Dabak were killed by a Muslim mob 24 April 2010.

Since 2009 when the Boko Haram turned violent, Human Rights Watch says the group has been accountable for as many as 935 deaths. In 2011, it was responsible for 510 deaths. In a report released yesterday, the Human Rights Watch called upon Nigerian authorities to stop Boko Haram, a task made complicated because the group is believed to have allies within the government. Boko Haram, which means "Western education is a sin," is a militant group fighting to extend Shariah law beyond the mostly-Muslim northern parts of Nigeria.
