 Nigeria Records 5,400 Kidnappings, 6,800 Deaths in Six Months — Zamfara Leads as Most Affected State


Nigeria has witnessed a disturbing spike in insecurity, with over 5,400 people kidnapped and 6,800 killed in the first six months of 2025, according to a recent report. Zamfara State tops the list as the hardest-hit region in the country.
