Most of the information we have about terrorism today is locational base and can be reference to a spatial location. Spatial data play a very important role in the fight against insurgent and terrorism. The integration of Geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial data mining technique will greatly help the Nigerian military and other security agency to classify and predict likely terrorist hit spots. The goal of the integration is to accurately predict the targets of Boko Haram Terrorists in Nigeria. GIS and spatial Data mining technique have been applied in a wide interdisciplinary research area spanning several disciplines such as expert system, database system, statistic, security modeling, environmental studies and intelligent information systems.
