A global report released yesterday says Nigeria remains one of the
three most terrorised nations in the world.
The 2017 Global Terrorism Index (GTI) also indicates that killing of
innocent people by the Boko Haram insurgents in the North east has
decreased by 80 per cent. According to the document, Nigeria got the
same ranking in 2015 and 2016. It was ranked fourth in 2014.
The Global Terrorism Index, which is in its fifth edition, is
published annually by an independent, non-partisan, non-profit think
tank organisation, Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP). It monitors
and measures the impact of terrorism in 163 countries, which covers 99.7
per cent of the world’s population.
