Nigeria's Islamic Movement marks Martyrs DayThere are currently one thousand and thirty-nine members who are martyred leaving behind four hundred and forty nines wives, and over two thousand three hundred orphans.

Taking care of the orphans is one of the major challenges of the foundation. Officials of the foundation said every year the number of martyrs keeps increasing in view of attacks by security forces during religious events.
