At least 792 persons lost their lives in 882 security incidents across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory in June 2026, with the military killing 274 insurgents, according to the latest report by SARI Global, a risk intelligence and security analysis firm that specialises in providing operational data, climate intelligence, and crisis management support for organisations working in the world’s most volatile environments.
This is as the report staed that the Islamic State West Africa Province launched a coordinated strategy in the Monguno axis of northern Borno that blocked access to humanitarian aid from reaching hundreds of thousands of internally displaced persons.
The document, SARI Global’s Nigeria Monthly Security Overview for June 2026, obtained by The PUNCH, identified the Monguno axis, covering the garrison towns of Monguno, Cross Kauwa, Baga, and Kukawa, as the country’s critical humanitarian flashpoint driven by ISWAP’s nighttime compound raids and daytime arson of aid-contracted cargo along the Monguno to Gajiram road.
The monthly Nigeria report is published on ReliefWeb, a leading humanitarian information repository on global crises managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
