dc.description.abstractAbstract A distinct development in international security with respect to the post-Cold War era is the problem and phenomenal rise of Asymmetric threat. Asymmetric security threathas been identified as the most pervasive challenge to international stability because it is a kind of security threats posed by radical non-state armed groups. With the development towards globalisation and increasing interconnection between nations of the world, these threats go beyond state systems. The devastating effects of the terrorist attack on the United States (US) on 9 September 2001 (colloquially referred to as ‘9/11’), the shocking attacks of Madrid, London, Delhi, Mumbai, among others have greatly underscored terrorism’s global connection and its potential to infringe upon the sovereignty and integrity of states. Terrorist activities have exposed innocent citizens to series of attack thereby causing loss of lives and property. The attacks are being made possible majorly through the importation of harms and dangerous weapons in the Nigerian maritime borders as exemplified in the bombing of Army Barracks, Jaji in Kaduna State, where it was alleged that those weapons were imported from Brazil and the US. This paper argues that the Nigerian upheavals and insecurity in the hands of terrorist groups in recent times have interconnection with international armed groups on one hand and porous maritime boarders on the other hand. The paper suggests a proactive security measures in the Nigerian maritime borders to curtail the excesses of Asymmetric insurgents.en_US
