Terror-related deaths from attacks by Fulani extremists in Nigeria 2019
In 2019, 1,245 people died in Nigeria in terrorist attacks. In spite of the overall decrease in the number of deaths, Nigeria remains one of the countries with the highest terrorism threat levels in the world. Even though deaths due to terrorism experienced a decrease in 2019, Nigeria's deadliest terrorist group, Boko Haram, became more dangerous and the number of attacks on both civilian and military targets increased.
