  1. AD: Adamawa; BY: Bayelsa; EN: Enugu; OY: Oyo; IM: Imo; KN: Kano; KW: Kwara; SK: Sokoto; PL: Plateau
  2. +P-value < 0.001. Fst value between 0–0.05 (little genetic differentiation), 0.05–0.15 (moderate genetic differentiation), 0.15–0.25 (great genetic differentiation), < 0.25 (very great genetic differentiation) * Interpretation is based on recommendations of Balloux and Lugon-Moulin, 2002
