Nigeria suffers from the world’s deadliest terror attacks, with an average of 24 deaths per incident out of 146 recorded in the year through June, according to risk consultancy Maplecroft.
The global average is two deaths per attack, the Bath, U.K.-based group said in a report released today titled the Maplecroft Terrorism and Security Dashboard. Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy, recorded 3,477 deaths in those attacks as violence by the Boko Haram Islamist militants grew in scale and sophistication, it said.
