"It revealed that the entire impunity index was arrived at by calculating the number of unsolved murders over a 10-year period in line with a percentage of each country’s population. For this edition, CPJ analyzed journalists’ murders in every nation that took place between September 1, 2008, and August 31, 2018.
Within the period of ranking, Nigeria has had five unresolved murders of journalists. The five cases are: Bayo Ohu of The Guardian was killed on September 20, 2009, in Lagos; Enenche Akogwu of Channels TV killed on January 20, 2012, in Kano while covering Boko Haram crisis; Nathan S. Dabak, of The Light Bearer, killed on April 24, 2010, in Jos; Sunday Gyang Bwede also The Light Bearer killed on April 24, 2010, in Jo; and Zakariya Isa of Nigeria Television Authority murdered on October 22, 2011.
So far, nobody has been brought to justice by the Nigerian authorities in the murder of these journalists who were killed in connection with their job.
Somalia tops the list, followed by Syria and Iraq. South Sudan takes the fourth place with Philippines and Afghanistan taking fifth and sixth positions.
Other countries on the list are Mexico, Colombia, Pakistan, Brazil, Russian, Bangladesh, Nigeria and India."
