Abstract

The oil-rich Niger Delta region of Nigeria is in the grip of a security crisis, with kidnapping and violence rife. The troubles are caused by the mixture of crime and corruption with long-standing grievances of local people against the oil industry and their low share of oil revenues. The problems are of growing concern to foreign governments not only because of the region's oil resources, but also because a collapse into anarchy risks fostering extremism and terrorism.
