Nigeria ranked fourth globally in terrorism according to GTI 2026 report, with 171 attacks killing 750 people in 2025 – a 43% increase from 2024. Boko Haram and ISWAP accounted for 80% of deaths, concentrated in Borno and North East states. Opposition leaders blame government failure, with Peter Obi calling it 'a painful indictment of failed leadership' and PDP accusing Tinubu's administration of neglecting security.
