Abstract :
Nigeria insecurity has taken an ugly
dimension recently to the extent that nobody is safe in
the country anymore. Data collected for this study (from
2012 to 2021) which were from National Bureau of
Statistics (NBS) annual report 2021, Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN) annual report 2021, World Bank (WB)
annual report 2021, Economic and Financial Crime
Commission (EFCC) annual report 2021 and other
relevant ministries, departments and agencies (MDA’s)
revealed that causes of insecurity in Nigeria which
include Unemployment, Poverty, Kidnapping,
Terrorism, Violence (Political and economic based),
Bribery and Corruption, Ethno-religious
conflicts/communal clash, Python dance/Extrajudicial
killing, Organized criminal act and Assassination are
seriously affecting the nation both in national
development and growth. In this paper, we shall get the
determinant of causes of insecurity in Nigeria from 2012
to 2021 and recommend that the Nigeria government
should pay much attention on poverty and
unemployment as they are on the peak and many
Nigerians are unemployed and are dying of hunger.
Keywords :
Unknown Gun Men, Insecurity, Development and Determinant.
