U.S. Religious Freedom Commission Says 30,000 Armed Militants Operating Across Nigeria

The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom has reported that about 30,000 armed militants are currently operating across Nigeria, describing them as some of the deadliest non-state actors driving violations of religious freedom in the country.

The May 2026 report, titled _“Nonstate Violators of Religious Freedom in Nigeria: Fulani Militants,”_ states that the groups operate in formations ranging from 10 to 1,000 members.

According to the commission, these militants have been linked to attacks on communities, places of worship, and civilians in multiple states, contributing to a climate of insecurity that has disproportionately affected religious minorities. The report identifies the groups as key contributors to displacement, loss of life, and restrictions on religious practice in affected areas.

The commission’s findings are based on field assessments, victim testimonies, and open-source data collected over the preceding months. It warns that the scale and coordination of the groups pose a growing challenge to local security structures and to broader efforts to protect religious freedom.

The report also calls for increased monitoring, accountability measures, and engagement with Nigerian authorities to address the threat posed by the militants and to protect vulnerable communities.

Nigerian officials have not yet issued a formal response to the report.

The commission is an independent U.S. federal agency that monitors religious freedom conditions worldwide and makes policy recommendations to the U.S. government.

One Injured as 20-Foot Container Falls on Commercial Bus in Lagos

A 20-foot container fell on a commercial bus in Lagos State on Tuesday, leaving one passenger injured and causing major traffic disruption.

The incident occurred during peak hours along a busy corridor in the state. Eyewitnesses said the container, which was being transported on a flatbed truck, detached and landed directly on the roof of the moving bus.

Emergency responders from the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Road Safety Corps arrived at the scene shortly after the accident. They pulled out the injured passenger, who was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. Officials confirmed the victim is in stable condition.

No fatalities were recorded.

Personnel of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority cordoned off the area to remove the container and manage traffic buildup. The affected route experienced heavy congestion for several hours as recovery operations continued.

Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the incident. Preliminary indications point to improper securing of the container, but officials said a full report would be released after the probe.

Officials have urged truck operators to ensure cargo is properly fastened before moving on public roads, citing the recurring risk posed by falling containers in Lagos.

Motorists were advised to use alternative routes and drive with caution around heavy-duty vehicles.

Cooking Gas Nears N2,000/kg, Deepens Hardship for Households and Businesses

ABUJA/LAGOS — The price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas has surged to nearly N2,000 per kilogramme across parts of Nigeria, worsening the cost-of-living pressure on households and small businesses ahead of the 2026 Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.

A survey conducted this week showed LPG prices rising from below N1,000/kg earlier in the year to between N1,500 and N1,800 in most urban centres. Consumers in Ogun border communities reported paying about N2,000/kg, while prices in Lagos, Abeokuta, and Ibadan ranged from N1,600 to N1,700/kg. In northern states, the product sold for between N1,800 and N2,000/kg.

The Federal Government has declared Wednesday, May 27, and Thursday, May 28, 2026, as public holidays to mark Sallah.

The Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers attributed the hike to erratic supply, high depot costs, and rising logistics expenses. Marketers said they now pay between N25.2 million and N26.2 million for 20 metric tonnes of LPG, depending on location.

In a joint statement, NALPGAM National President Edu Inyang and Executive Secretary Bassey Essien described the development as “sad and rather very pathetic,” warning that the situation could trigger scarcity and deepen hardship for millions of Nigerians.

Consumers expressed frustration over the recurring increases. “One of the only ways the government can assist the masses is through affordable cooking gas, but Nigerian leaders don’t care,” said a consumer identified as Borokinni.

The current hike is the first in 2026 and the second in seven months since October 2025, when a dispute involving Dangote Refinery and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association led to disruptions in oil and gas operations.

Industry stakeholders fear that sustained price increases could force more households back to firewood and charcoal, undermining Nigeria’s clean cooking energy drive.
