How this is measured
The risk tier is set by reported fatalities in Kebbi over the trailing 12 months, on the same scale used across the national risk index: Critical (500+), High (150+), Elevated (50+), Moderate (10+), or Low. Incident volume is shown alongside but does not set the tier.
Figures come from OpenWatch’s incident record, exclude retracted reports, and update hourly. Reported numbers are a floor, not a census: incidents in remote areas are routinely under-reported, so a low count is not a guarantee of safety. Last incident recorded in Kebbi: 6 September 2026.
