Nigeria: Deaths in non-state conflict

1531deaths · 2025+86.3% since 2015

Deaths in fighting between organised groups, none of them a government. Summed from UCDP's events by country and year (best estimate). Events in Gaza and the West Bank, which UCDP files under Israel, are counted under West Bank and Gaza. From a country's first recorded event onward, a year with no events is zero. Annual figures for Nigeria from 1990 to 2025.
