ISLAM-INSPIRED KILLINGS IN NIGERIA IN THE FIRST QUARTER, 2024

At the end of the first quarter in 2024, there were 473 Islam-inspired attacks recorded in 29 countries/territories globally. Eighty-one (81) of these (more than one in every 6) occurred in Nigeria, abruptly cutting short some 471 human lives during the 3 months.  Two hundred and forty-two (242) others were injured in these attacks in Nigeria.

While these figures from Nigeria represent a significant increase in the number of incidents compared with the previous quarter (81 versus 63), there were less number of deaths (471 versus 643). Most of the incidents occurred early in the first two months with nearly daily killings (63 events in 60 days) when Fulani “bandits” went on rampage in Plateau state.  The killings included about 30 people (mostly women and children) who were massacred while taking shelter at a “safe house” at Kwahaslalek village (Jan 23). A  24-hour curfew was supposed to be in place at that time.  (https://www.arise.tv/despite-curfew-gunmen-kill-25-in-plateau-community/) The incident with the highest fatality figure (45) during the period however happened between two rival gangs of “bandits” in Gbagir, Benue state with some 12 innocent farmers killed in the crossfire. An unspecified number of others were also declared “missing”.  (https://punchng.com/family-of-seven-others-killed-as-benue-rival-militia-groups-clash/)  

As we have done over the years, these quarterly compilations are extracted from the website of TheReligionofPeace, a non-political, fact-based site which examines the ideological threat that Islam poses to human dignity and freedom  https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/attacks/attacks.aspx?Yr=2023
