The crisis in Nigeria’s North Central and North West zones, which involves long-standing tensions between ethnic and linguistic groups; attacks by criminal groups; and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways) led to fresh wave of population displacement.
Latest attacks affected 8,910 individuals, including 191 injuries and 72 fatalities, in Logo LGA of Benue State, Birnin Gwari, Zangon Kataf LGAs of Kaduna State, Batsari, Jibia LGAs of Katsina State and Isa, Sabon Birnin LGAs of Sokoto State between 06 - 12 July 2020. The attacks caused people to flee to neighboring localities.
A rapid assessment was conducted by field staff to assess the impact on people and immediate needs.
