A recent report has revealed that Jihadi fighters previously active in Africa's Sahel region have now established a presence in northwestern Nigeria after crossing from neighboring Benin. The militants, believed to be linked to al-Qaida, have migrated to Kainji Lake National Park, one of Nigeria's largest parks, where other armed groups have also gained access.
Local residents near the park have reported increased security threats, leading to the closure of the park for over a year. The deteriorating security situation has made it dangerous for people to travel through the area, with armed groups attacking nearby villages and roads.
