Impact verdict
Medium impact. While the immediate human toll is significant, the insured asset exposure is relatively limited to school property and potential kidnap & ransom policies. However, the geographic spread of kidnappings into southwestern Nigeria (beyond the traditional northwest/northeast) signals an escalating security environment with broader implications for risk underwriting in the region.
