555 Nigerians died from mob violence in the past decade, with 363 incidents documented (Amnesty International).

Amnesty International reports that over 555 Nigerians have died from mob violence in the past decade, with 363 incidents documented between January 2012 and August 2022. Failures in law enforcement have exacerbated the situation, as many cases remain unreported, particularly in remote areas. Victims are often accused of theft, blasphemy, or witchcraft. The report highlights the need for government intervention, yet there has been no official response.
