| Title | The Constitutional Democratic State, Rule of Law and The Rise of Terrorism: Nigeria |
| Summary | ABSTRACT The world over, the rise of radical terrorist attacks and groups in democracies has raised a lot of concern for the safety and continuity of democracies. Nigeria as a newly emerging democracy is no exception. This thesis sets as its main aim to answer the question why people or groups rebel against the constitutional democratic state by resorting to Terrorism. Using primarily secondary sources, inculcating mainly the descriptive methodology, the thesis shows that deprivation of constitutional rights and violation of fundamental human rights can lead to the radicalization of groups. Bokoharam as a radical terrorist group tested against this hypothesis falls into the category of a terrorist group who, although associated with a barbaric ideology, but against the background of poverty find appealing to join, especially in the North Eastern part of the country. |
