The report said about seven in 10 households reported murder cases to the police nationwide with 33 per cent of households responding that the killer was an unknown person, and 23.4 per cent confirmed that the murderer was a member of the household
It doesn't specifically say that these stats are from a single year, but everything in the report seems to be about May '23 - April '24.
Seven in 10 households reporting a homicide within 12 months is hard to comprehend.
- Niger or Nigeria? Nigeria is 230 million.
  
  if niger is 25m and nigeria is 230m, then it follows that the "ia" suffix is 205m by itself.
so you're saying that there's a possibility that some of those email messages i receive from nigerian widows looking for a partner to launder money out of the country are real?
- Nah, those are all Indian run. Nigerian scams are more like American scams. I.E. open a church and steal all the money, or become a politician and steal all the money.
