Lightning accidents in Nigeria: with special attention to aviation mishaps

Lightning related accidents in Nigeria, a country of high lightning density, have been collected and analyzed. Results show that lightning related human injuries and deaths are very high in Nigeria, where the actual figure may reach as high as 500 deaths per year. However, due to the social stigma a...
