ABSTRACT
This study examines the implication of kidnapping on socioeconomic development of Nigeria. Specifically, the study determines the prevalence rate of kidnapping in Northern Nigeria, investigates determining factors propagating kidnapping activities in Norther Nigeria and ascertains the social and economic impact of Kidnapping in Nigeria. The study employed the survey descriptive research design. A total of 260 responses were validated from the survey. The study adopted the structural functionalism theory. From the responses obtained and analysed, the findings reveals that the extent of kidnapping prevalent in Northern Nigeria is very high. Furthermore, the study shows that the factors propagating kidnapping activities in Northern Nigeria include abject poverty, corruption and fraud, political influence and joblessness. The study recommends that there is need for effective community policing in the country. Not just institutionalizing the machineries, adequate operational facilities should be given to the police to assist in their proper functioning. With these observations in mind particularly as it affects people with criminal tendencies. More so, families and relatives of victims should reject payment of ransom to kidnappers, because ransom payment has been noted to act as a motivational factor for the actions/operations of the criminal activities. Effective and well equipped anti-hostage/kidnapping agencies should be set up by the government in order to give stiff resistance to the perpetrators of kidnapping.
