Insecurity in Nigeria continues to exacerbate the problems plaguing Nigeria. Comparing insecurity incidents of the period April 2021 to May 2021 with the period May 2021 to June 2021 shows an increased orgy of violence by depraved individuals, with wanton destruction of lives and property spreading across the board.

The number of casualties continues to go overboard, with kidnapping for ransom gaining momentum daily. The spike in the number of abducted victims ostensibly is a calculated attempt to water down the progress recorded by the joint task force of the military with other security agencies in their unabated air and ground strikes which thus far has seen many insurgents surrendering their arms.

It is not out of place, however, for the Federal Government to start appraising and re-appraising all identified and obvious areas of discontent with a view to dousing tension in the interest of peace and tranquility in the country.

Below are incidents recorded in chronological order as obtained from Eons Intelligence archives and other viable open-source platforms. Also, these incidents have been statistically analyzed to graphically indicate possible increases and regression in different parts of the country.

The period of analysis covering the months of April, May, and June 2021 identified states in each geo-political zone that were seen from the statistical outlook that seems to have improved, regressed, or relatively calm during the reviewing period. While this neither represents complete success or failure of the political leaders responsible for managing security in the affected states, it is indeed intended to spur more actions where regression is observed and sustainability of efforts where progression is indicated. The resultant illustrative verdict is based on data as reflected by the killing incidents, kidnapping, and other security factors militating against governance and service delivery to the people of the state.
