Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Deepening Insecurity

Abstract
Nigeria?s security crisis did not emerge overnight; it has been building for more than a decade. Since 2011, the nation has witnessed a wide spectrum of violence?attacks on worship centres, killings of farmers, kidnappings on highways, herder-related clashes, and mass assaults on Christian communities across several states. Many of these attacks were not isolated incidents, but part of a growing pattern of coordinated brutality that communities have repeatedly described as genocidal in effect.
