The CDD in its report titled; “Multiple Nodes, Common Cause: National Stock take of contemporary insecurity and state responses in Nigeria,” said in the North Western states of Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara ,about 14, 000 people lost their lives between 2011 and 2021.

A statement issued on Tuesday night by the Director of CDD, Idayat Hassan, said the report, which also measured conflict related casualties in the North Central states of Federal Capital Territory, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger and Plateau, revealed that “around 11, 000 people were killed in the period under review.”
