In 2019, 148 people died in Nigeria in attacks on military targets caused by the terrorist group Boko Haram. In the same year, 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 though deaths due to terrorism experienced a decrease, Nigeria's deadliest terrorist group, Boko Haram, became more dangerous and the number of attacks on both civilian and military targets increased.
