30,000 armed Fulani militants increase insecurity in Nigeria,

The report refers to an estimated 30,000 armed Fulani militants who have been mobilized across Nigeria, especially in the north‑central and north‑eastern states. Their presence has intensified communal clashes, cattle‑raiding, and attacks on villages, contributing to a sharp rise in insecurity, displacement of civilians, and pressure on the Nigerian security forces. The group is loosely organized, often linked to pastoralist grievances over land and resources, but its large numbers and access to weapons have made it a significant destabilizing force in the country.
