The use of terror began at the very birth of organized society as a means of discretion or punishment. Terrorism has become a song to be sung in Nigeria with the emergence of dreaded Boko Haram terrorising old and young, male and female, rich and poor, spearing nobody in the area of their operation, most especially in Northern Nigeria; hence collateral killing is their watchword. The study examines the efficacy of the political and military approach in combatting the menace. It employs a mixed approach, which mostly relies on both primary and secondary data collection to elicit information. To meet the security challenges posed by this dreaded sect, the researcher advocates the use of intelligence-led policing, counter-insurgency and trust-building strategies between the government and citizenry.

The desire to address the structural deficiency gave birth to militancy. The study examines the activities of militant, and amnesty programme within the context of understanding justice and equity in the Niger Delta Region of the country. The study employs the use of content analysis to carry out the task which relies only on the use of secondary data collection. The paper argued that amnesty package have focused almost entirely on military and security objective as expressed in the Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) programmes. The study revealed national loss of income and resources; security challenges; downsizing of oil companies' employees; dwindling foreign direct investment; and destruction of national unity among others as implications of the militancy in the region. The paper concluded by recommending more proactive response to the crisis in the region, an all-encompassing approach, an articulated regulatory framework acceptable to all stakeholders, for there to exist a modicum of Niger Delta security, and by extension, a secured federation.
