Over 971 Nigerians abducted in October 2024 – Report

No fewer than 971 Nigerians were abducted across the country in October 2024, DAILY POST learnt.

The revelation is coming amid the emergence of a new terror group, ‘Lakurawa’ in the northwestern part of the country.

The data is contained in the ‘October 2024 Nigeria Security Report’ by Beacon Security and Intelligence Limited, BSIL, a security risk management and intelligence consulting company, and made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday.

The report said there’s a deterioration of security metrics of incidents, abductions and fatalities in the country, warning that the rising numbers suggested that 2024 was likely to be the worst year in security performance in about a decade.

It explained that the month under review was marked mainly by developments associated with violent activities, including killings and kidnapping for ransom mainly by non-state armed groups (NSAGs), criminal gangs, cult groups, and armed ethnic militias, and social unrest in the form of protests and labour action triggered by the harsh socio-economic circumstances in the country and political activities
