The Territory of Boko Haram, (Hausa: Daular Musulunci), refers to the territory in Nigeria under the de-facto control or influence of Boko Haram.
After pledging allegiance to Islamic State in 2015, the territory of Boko Haram was briefly called the "West Africa Province" (Wilāyat Garb Ifrīqīyā). However, the group fractured in 2016, and ISWAP and Boko Haram are now separate rival groups.
