A Non-Governmental Organisation that focuses on human rights and peace-building, Stefanos Foundation, has disclosed that between January and April, 2023, there were 217 attacks from 34 states in Nigeria.
According to the Jos-based human rights organisation, the attacks resulted in the killing of 1,872 persons, 714 abductions, and 65 persons sustained various degrees of injuries.
Ms. Fatima Njoku, the Advocacy Manager at Stefanos Foundation, during a joint press briefing in Abuja on Thursday, stressed that there was the urgent need for action to address the underlying causes of the violence in parts of the country.
She said, “From eyewitness reports and testimonies of direct victims across board, we can say that the attacks are carried out in literally the same style, with attackers dressed in similar fashion and victims with similar profiles.
