Notice the NBS hasn't released crime stats since 2017. Its pretty safe to say there's a massive crime wave in Nigeria since then. The excuses about time and money are ridiculous considering Kaduna operates with similar time constraints and less money than the Federal government. If leaders want to make claims of safety or effectiveness it should be backed up by reliable data.

The issue is even worse when you consider the published crime stats are always lazily done. The stats only report aggregate crimes instead of doing it on a per capita basis. Aggregate numbers don't factor in population which is why crime stats are supposed to reported on per 100k basis. The last measure the NBS could improve is actually reporting victimization rates by tribe, perpetrator by tribe, and if they're foreigners. Nigeria should strive to have decent crime stats like South Africa who do most of the following suggested improvements. If you have other suggestions post below.

Kaduna crime stats:

Est. 8.9 million population according to Wikipedia.

1192 homicides ~ 13.39 homicides per 100k
The number Homicides increased by 245 which is a 20.55% increase.
3,348 kidnappings ~ 37.62 kidnappings per 100k
891 assaults (injuries) ~ 10.01 assaults per 100k

I honestly wonder how crazy the overall numbers are. Kaduna is just one state and the rates of violence are very high. Imagine what you'll see out Katsina, Niger, Zamfara if they bothered to report on this like El Rufi did. Lol I doubt other state governors would do the same especially so close to an election year. Its obvious the president won't be ready to stand by his record regarding crime.

The only thing I find weird is the fact journalists didn't bother qualifying how much crime increased or how dangerous the state really is. I think its a cultural thing with Nigerians. The reporters report El Rufi wants more operation base.

.

This is what you get when you mix violent culture with religion.

Omo e be things. I believe about 5000 people are killed daily in Nigeria as a whole. Many are not reported.

I doubt 1 million people are killed a year. At most 40k per year. That would make it 20 per 100k.

Some unfortunate fellows won't stop proclaiming how Elrufai is the best thing since the discovery of sliced bread. Tell me those flyovers are more important than the lives of kaduna people.

Democracy is for the people by the people but the people are retaŕded. Infrastructure is just one metric to look at when you judge a leader. People just ignore the others economic abd social ones.

Kaduna has been dangerous for a long time. The train bombing just brought it to the forefront of people mind. If Nigerian media wasn't garbage they could show you guys with numbers how bad its getting. They don't even need to editorialize the story the facts are crazy on their own.
