In Nigeria, political, economic, and social grievances are causing violence and deaths. Several militant groups are active in the country, leading to attacks on both civilian and military targets. Boko Haram is the deadliest terrorist group, an affiliate of the Islamic State. Confrontations between Boko Haram and the Nigerian State provoked over 22.9 thousand deaths between 2011 and 2023. Nigeria is the country most affected by the terrorist group's attacks. However, Boko Haram is responsible for thousands of deaths in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, and Niger. The Nigerian State of Borno is by far the most threatened state, in that, Boko Haram has caused around 34 thousand deaths in this area. Among the news on attacks mostly present in the media, the kidnapping of 276 female students from a secondary school in Borno in 2014 received a global response. As of April 2021, over 100 girls were still missing, and six students were believed to have died.
