The GTI report 2020 reveals Nigeria maintained its position as the third most threatened country in the world by terrorism.
Regarding the surge in the figure of fatalities from Boko Haram assaults in the northeast, Nigeria plunges behind Afghanistan and Iraq.
The document also indicated that mass casualties from terrorism in Nigeria drop to 1,245 in 2019, a 39 percent decrease, bringing it the lowest in the country since 2011.
