Abstract: The rising spate of piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, targeting artisanal fishery, is a huge concern regarding security and economy. Relying to a major extent on qualitative primary data, this briefing explores the economic effects of piracy by providing empirical evidence of how the piracy attacks in the Gulf of Guinea contribute to the increasing food security crisis among the coastline population in the South South region, Nigeria. It argues that the increasing piracy on artisanal fishery is a manifest sign of state fragility in the country.
