By focussing on kidnappings that are putatively connected to the struggle for emancipating the Niger Delta, Oriola makes the case for analyzing the 'Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta' (MEND) as a social movement organization. Based on multi-actor research, including interviews and focus group discussions with community members, military authorities, 42 ex-insurgents directly involved in illegal oil bunkering and kidnapping, and official email statements from 'Jomo Gbomo', the spokesperson of MEND, this book is of interest to sociologists, political scientists and peace and security studies scholars.
