Abstract: Since the 2000s Nigeria has increasingly been confronted by a multi-faceted deadly terrorist onslaught on the country leading to the death of over 30, 000 Nigerians with Boko Haram continuing to dominate the terrorist landscape in Nigeria and the last five years expanding to neighbouring African countries of Cameroon, Chad and Niger, thus prompting the formation of an African region-wide anti-terrorism military operation in 2015. This article examines the notion of terrorism, the history of terrorism in Nigeria, the different types of terrorist networks operating in Nigeria, the causes of terrorism, the role of the media in terrorism and recommendations for ending terrorism in Nigeria.
