A
report by the Global Terrorism Index (GTI) has shown that Nigeria
witnessed an increase in Boko Haram attacks on military targets last
year. n this year’s report, Nigeria was ranked sixth in a row since 2015 as the third country with the greatest impact of terrorism globally.
Afghanistan is at the top of the list, followed by Iraq.
Syria, Somalia and Yemen rank fourth, fifth and sixth.
However, a report released on Wednesday showed that terrorism-related cases decreased by 27 percent over the same period.
This was due to a significant reduction in violence against murderous shepherd dogs.
"Despite the general decline in terrorism, Boko Haram, Nigeria's deadliest terrorist group, recorded an increase in terrorism, mainly among civilians. Terrorist-related deaths and Boko Haram-related incidents in Nigeria increased 25 and 30% from a year earlier.
“Over the past year, Boko Haram increased attacks on
military targets, with deaths rising from 26 in 2018 to 148 in 2019,”
the report said.
“In 2019, Boko Haram carried out 11 suicide bombings
causing 68 fatalities. Suicide bombings accounted for 6% of all
terror-related incidents by Boko Haram in 2019, marking an 89% decline
from their peak in 2017,” the report read.
