Insecurity in Southeast Nigeria
Southeast Nigeria has seen a surge in violence, with more than 130 police and other security personnel killed by gunmen since last year (2021), according to local media tallies.
Authorities have blamed attacks on either the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement, which is campaigning for a separate state for the ethnic Igbo people, or its armed wing, known as the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
The group has denied responsibility for the violence.
