Content: The result of this is smuggling of weapons, drugs and other equipment that all promote violence into the country. These weapons become available to militant and criminal groups, enabling them to cause mayhem. The porosity of Nigerian borders also allows an inappropriate influx of immigrants from neighbouring countries like Republic of Niger, Republic of Benin and Chad who sometimes turn out to be miscreants used to perpetrate crimes. 4. Terrorism
The violent extremism of various terrorist groups in Nigeria in recent years remains a major cause of insecurity in the country. Stemming from discontentment, ethnic and religious superiority, separatist agenda and the likes, different militant groups have emerged and are causing serious havoc in various parts of the country. They have employed tactics such as suicide bombing, kidnapping, sabotage of oil facilities, vandalization, and other means that all result to destruction of property and loss of lives. Boko Haram and the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) are two of the major groups and whatever the reasons for their actions continue to pose a problem of security in Nigeria. 5. Inefficient Government Intervention
Failure on the side of the government is a major cause of the state of insecurity in Nigeria.
