NORTH-EAST Nigeria has recorded at least 612 deaths from the month of June to November 27, data gathered by the Nigeria Security Tracker, NST, has shown.

The deaths from the affected states – Borno, Adamawa, Yobe, Bauchi, Gombe and Taraba were as a result of banditry, kidnapping, communal clashes and Boko Haram insurgency in the region.

While 233 state actors such as security operatives and government officials were killed within the six months period, 379 civilians from the region lost their lives to insecurity.

Based on data gathered from the Nigeria Security Tracker (NST), an initiative of the Council on Foreign Relations (cfr), Borno state recorded the highest mortality with 534 total deaths (231 state actors and 303 civilians).

From the figure, Boko Haram insurgency was responsible for more than 50 percent of the casualties put at 534 deaths.

In Bauchi, only 13 deaths were recorded. Though none of the killings was attributed to the insurgency, they were a result of the communal crisis and political clash.

Gombe recorded no deaths within the period.

Welcome to the next level...

So the enemies of APC administration has finally vowed to use media propaganda to spoil the good monumental projects of Buhari.

It is time FG design a policy that will mandate every citizen report good things about the country. It is not patriotic

A good citizen is expected to post and write good things to praise the government when things are going south.

A good citizen should post any bad report when there's bad road, insecurity, unemployment, inflation and corruption.

A good citizen should always write to praise the president even when he (the president) declares war on his country.

A good citizen should use the same microscopes like Uncle Lai, Garba Shehu and Femi Adesina to see the Paris-like transformation/beauty happening in Nigeria.

Fake news just to tarnish the image of the current administration. The North is peaceful and safe. Not one person has died there in 5 years. Even the old don't die.
The massive vote for oga at the top by the North confirms how peaceful and satisfied the people of the north are with the government.
Sai baba!
Lai M, oya come and twist your mouth to the left and lunch a missile.

Buhari has failed woefully
