The Nigeria Security Tracker (NST), has raised an alarm over the violent killing of no fewer than 5,222 Nigerians across the country between January and June of 2022, IgbereTV reports
A report published on Saturday by the NST which is a pet project of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) of the United States, showed that most of the killings were carried out by non-state actors including terrorists, bandits, kidnap gangs and other criminals.
The data from NST which tracks violence in all parts of Nigeria and based on weekly surveys of local and international media, noted that the death figures were as a result of Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East, banditry in the North-West, Fulani herdsmen violence in the North-Central and secessionist uprisings in the South-East.
