A non-governmental organisation CLEEN Foundation revealed the list in Abuja on April 9, 2014, Wednesday, while presenting the report titled ‘Third Security Threat Assessment’.

The NGO, which promotes public safety, security, and access to justice, warned of high security risks there during the 2015 election.

The states tagged as ‘most volatile’ are:

Adamawa, Benue, Borno, Ebonyi, Ekiti, Enugu, Imo, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Osun, Plateau, Rivers, Taraba, Yobe and Zamfara.

It is not surprising: three of these states, Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe, are already under emergency rule due to the activities of the terrorist Boko Haram group.

Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa, Kaduna, and Zamfara were the arena of recent killings of hundreds of people by unidentified armed men. The area is suffering from communal and ethno-religious violence. For instance, over100 people were killed in Zamfara community by unidentified gunmen over the weekend.

The NGO has previously listed Borno, Rivers, Bauchi, Plateau, Kaduna, Benue, Nasarawa, Delta, Sokoto, Adamawa, and Yobe as the most volatile states in last year’s report (July 2013).

There are 11 ‘mid-volatile’ states:

Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bauchi, Delta, Gombe, Kano, Katsina, Kogi, Niger and Sokoto.

The remaining states, including Lagos, Ondo, others, are tagged as ‘low-volatile’ or stable states. 

Such states as Ekiti and Osun oscillate between most volatile and mid-volatile groups.
