Nigeria's security challenges, including the Boko Haram insurgency, banditry in the north-west, secessionist agitations in the south-east, violent clashes between Fulani herdsmen and farmers, and a renewed surge in kidnapping in states such as Benue, Adamawa, Kaduna, Katsina, Sokoto, and Plateau, have made the country one of the hotbeds of conflict in Africa. Concerns that insecurity may worsen have been heightened by the recent abduction of no fewer than 46 pupils, teachers, and other school personnel from schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State during a deadly attack. The Oriire incident is part of an alarming pattern of mass kidnappings that has spread across Nigeria, with implications for real estate.
