A report by SB Morgen Intelligence says 966 Nigerian security personnel have been killed in one year.
The agency released the report on Thursday, after compiling classified data of attacks on security forces from October 2020 to September 2021.
The report describes the definition of war as any conflict in which at least 1,000 people are killed. “Because of this we can say that Nigeria is at war,” the report said.

According to SB Morgan statistics, 642 soldiers and 322 police officers have been killed in attacks by security forces over the past 12 months.
Eleven Civil Defense officers, five Customs officers, two DSS officers, two immigration officers and one accident officer were also killed.
