Month-end and evidence note
All case IDs and source details resolve to the Nigeria country record. The 31 August Ogun death has an uncertain exact injury/death time and is provisionally assigned by its police-report date. The 30 August Ogun sexual-violence report is filed in August even though it reached police and the press in September. Cases and totals can move when better dates or classifications are established; changes will be recorded on the country page.
