Update: In March 2026, data for the period between March and September 2025 has been published across subsequent data updates, adding at least 1,400 new events. Data from local information networks in Nigeria continue to be incorporated into ACLED’s regular real-time data publications.
Previous update:
On 4 November 2025, ACLED published new data and began incorporating information collected directly from local information networks in Nigeria. This update marks the beginning of efforts to address a sourcing gap created in March 2025 after the loss of a key data-sharing partner due to USAID funding cuts. This first installment covers events from September 2025 onward and has now been incorporated into ACLED’s regular real-time data publication schedule.
Additional data sourced from these networks will be released in forthcoming data updates, to complete coverage for the full period of the gap from March 2025 to present.
