Jonjon, Onyeinfie Emmanuel "Kidnapping of School Pupils and Myth of Security in Northern Nigeria: Causes and Solutions" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-3, April 2021, pp.1004-1010, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd40060.pdf

Kidnapping simply connotes an act of illegally and forcefully capturing and detaining human beings to generate financial benefits from the relations of the detainee(s).Kidnapping has become a common criminal exercise and lucrative business in Nigeria. The perpetrators often receive a huge sum of money from their victims, sometimes the kidnappers’ victims are murdered whenever the amount of money needed from them is paid and to some extent not redeemed. Therefore, this article examined the kidnapping of school pupils and the myth of security in Northern Nigeria: Causes and Solutions. The paper unveiled some common causes of kidnapping and their consequences in Northern Nigeria that are characterized by poverty, unemployment, insecurity, corruption, and poor policy implementation. The study used a survey descriptive research method. The study adopted frequency distribution analysis to present the data. The results of the findings show that poverty, unemployment, and moral decadence are said to be the commonest causes of the evil called kidnapping in Northern Nigeria. Amongst other recommendations, it is recommended that government should create jobs for the unemployed youths in tandem with skills development training that will help curtail the high levels of idleness as the mother of evil thoughts, evil plans, and evil actions among the Northern youths
