As Nigeria grapples with critical homeland security challenges, Homeland Security and Terrorism in Nigeria: Crises, Climate Change, and Counterterrorism analyzes these crises to deepen understanding of the Nigerian security dilemma and to seek pathways to a more secure homeland. This book examines the nature and dimensions of the security challenges, focusing on terrorism and its stranglehold on Nigeria’s peaceful existence. Leveraging a multi-disciplinary approach, this study combines a range of perspectives cutting across criminology, political science, sociology, history, international relations, and strategic studies to dissect the subject and problem. Sheriff Folarin, Abiodun Raufu, Godwyns Agbude, and the contributors explore the origins, dynamics, and character of terrorism in Nigeria. They also examine the changing nature of Nigeria’s security architecture as well as adaptive coping mechanisms and counterterror measures in the homeland. This book is a treasure for strategic and security analysts, Nigerian and African security governance scholars, political scientists, and other students and scholars interested in researching Nigeria.

The contributors to this authoritative volume provide compelling and comprehensive analyses of the scourge of violent insecurity in Nigeria in all its multilayered dimensions, from banditry, kidnapping, and farmer-herder conflicts to ethno-separatist or sectarian violence, oil militancy, and cybercriminal activities. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, the contributors eloquently analyze the structural and sociological contradictions, radical ideological contestations, international networks, and governance failures behind Nigeria’s chronic instability, while proffering actionable pathways to a more peaceful and secure homeland. The collection represents a bold, balanced, and brilliant addition to the emerging field of Nigerian security studies.
