Provenance

Where it came from

Published in 2024 as part of the Palgrave Macmillan series on African politics, this volume was authored by J. Shola Omotola, a prominent scholar specializing in African governance and security. The work emerged from the urgent need to move beyond sensationalist media reporting to provide a rigorous, evidence-based analysis of the proliferation of kidnapping in Nigeria. It situates the phenomenon within the broader context of political economy, examining how structural failures and socio-political instability foster criminal economies.

The book is designed as a scholarly contribution to the field of security studies, intentionally structured to offer a comprehensive empirical framework for understanding kidnapping as a tactical and economic tool. By critiquing common narratives that often reduce insecurity to mere banditry, Omotola seeks to highlight the deep-seated political incentives behind the crisis. Within the academic community, the text has been received as a critical resource for policymakers and researchers aiming to decode the intersection of institutional fragility and violent enterprise in Nigeria.
