The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) announced on Thursday that it is currently tracking approximately 17,000 active cases of missing persons in Nigeria.
The figure was released by the ICRC in a statement sourced from the Daily Trust. It reflects the organisation’s ongoing efforts to locate individuals who have disappeared across the country.
While the report does not detail the circumstances or locations of the missing persons, it underscores the scale of the issue that the ICRC is monitoring in Nigeria.
Further information on the ICRC’s methodology or the next steps for families and authorities was not provided in the statement.
