FLASH REPORT: POPULATION DISPLACEMENT DTM North Central Nigeria - Igabi LGA (Kaduna State) Nigeria 23 March 2021
OVERVIEW Nigeria's North Central and North West Zones are afflicted with a mul�dimensional crisis that is rooted in long-standing tensions between ethnic and religious groups and involves a�acks by criminal groups and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways). The crisis has accelerated during the past years because of the intensifica�on of a�acks and has resulted in widespread displacement across the region.
Between 13 and 21 March, the fear of a�acks by bandits have led to a fresh wave of popula�on displacement. Following these events, a rapid assessment was conducted by DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff with the purpose of informing the humanitarian community and government partners, and enable targeted response. Flash reports u�lise direct observa�on and a broad network of key informants to gather representa�ve data and collect informa�on on the number, profile and immediate needs of affected popula�ons. The movement involved 1,010 Individuals in 202 households from Kwatan Jatau, kwatan Waziri, Guguwa and Angwan kan� villages in Ragasa Ward of Igabi LGA to LEA Primary school also located in Rigasa Ward of Igabi LGA in Kaduna State.
