In 2019, 1,245 people died in Nigeria in terrorist attacks. Despite an overall decrease in the number of deaths, Nigeria remains one of the countries with the highest terrorism threat levels in the world. In the said year, it recorded the second largest number of deaths related to terrorism worldwide. Even if deaths due to terrorism experienced a decrease, Nigeria's deadliest terrorist group, Boko Haram, became more dangerous and the number of attacks to both civil and military targets increased.
