Confraternities in Nigeria are secretive student groups within Nigerian higher education that have been involved in violence and organized crime since the 1980s. The exact death toll of confraternity activities is unclear. One estimate in 2002 was that 250 people had been killed in campus cult-related murders in the previous decade,^[1] while the Exam Ethics Project lobby group estimated that 115 students and teachers had been killed between 1993 and 2019.^[2]
